It’s been a long time since I went on the search for a plugin that allowed inline post creation. Eventually, my search parameter changed to front page posting, then front-end posting, and thus I arrived at a couple of plugins that promised to do just that!

Currently I am testing Post-From-Site. Once I inserted the php code in sidebar widget, the widget simply brings up a pop-up window that allows me to type in my content, from my site’s front page…without shuttling down the rabbit hole to get to the back end of WordPress. Extremely convenient! One downside to this plugin however is the very simple posting panel that it pops up when you plan to add a post. Which is okay…because once the post is created, you have access to another plugin that allows you to edit the newly created post…all from the comfort and convenience of the front page.

The second plugin is the Front-end Editor, which allows inline–or should I say–edit in place functionality for existing posts. While it doesn’t appear to allow you to create posts on the front end, it has a much more feature-rich post editor than Post-From-Site. It is another amazingly convenient plugin to have, that makes editing your content a breeze! The downside to this editor is that it doesn’t appear to have an option for html coding…I’ll keep reading up on this excellent plugin and hope to learn more about what it’s capable of.
