Front End Post Submit Form

Question

I'm working on a site that is going to be community powered. It's going to have the form for registered users to submit draft posts, which will then be approved or deleted by the site's editors. The way I'm trying to implement it is with a custom page template, which includes a form that will allow people to submit draft posts for review.

I was wondering if anyone could point me to some code that does this and that works. I have tried searching, but so far the code I'm finding isn't working.

I'm using wordpress 3.1

Thanks :)

I just finished a series of posts on it. Making the form work, adding custom meta boxes, adding images. Everything works on it (except validation). I'll be getting the validation thing figured out better soon. But the code I share is gleaned from a variety of posts on this site.

Sure, I'll copy the reply to an answer. (I made it a comment rather than answer as I felt I was being a bit lazy just giving a link, and the form isn't 100%. Everything works great as far as posting, etc. I just can't get validation working quite right)
