Open Source Activism

Do you want to add a user to your wordpress blog? Here are the basic instructions for doing this in Wordpress 2.3:

• Login to your control panel
• Click Users
• Scroll down to Add User From Community as shown below
  
• Fill in the users email address
• Change the dropdown box to the level of authority you want the new user to have. I have a brief description below. For a full comparison of user roles see the Wordpress description.
  • Subscriber - Cannot do anything but read just like a normal visitor
  • Contributor - Write posts but cannot publish them
  • Author - Can write and publish posts
  • Editor - Same as author and can change categories, moderate comments, edit other users posts
  • Administrator - Everything
