Blog with user-generated content?
-
I want to start a blog where readers generate the content (comments and/or pictures), kind of like http://myparentswereawesome.tumblr.com or http://www.peopleofwalmart.com. Can I do that with wordpress.com? If so, how?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Not easily, you’d need to get users to send you content either via email or through a contact form ( http://support.wordpress.com/contact-form/ ) but you’d need to post it yourself.
-
Well that’s ok I guess because I would want to approve any postings before they were added anyway. Thanks for the tip!

One more question…can a user submit an attachment with the contact form? I looked at the contact form link you sent & it doesn’t appear that they can?
-
No, not with the contact form. One simple way would be to create a Gmail account just for receiving submissions, and put the email address in your sidebar. You’ll get spam, so tell people to put a particular wording in the subject line and use Gmail filtering to find them.
