  I need this resolved before i can make my blog public. I need to make registered users able to write blog posts..(not comments)

  when a user registers they automatically become an author to my blog. i was expecting this to allow them to post new subjects and ideas. but they cannot as i have tested and when they click the wp-admin/post-new.php page it says “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”

  Heres what i want them to be able to access http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/8015/writenewvo9.png

  Here is the author permissions http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/7377/authorwj6.png

  anyone know a way to fix this?

  *note a user can register if i set their user level to 10, however they can do everything else which is unwanted

  You have to set them as authors. This doesn’t happen automatically: http://support.wordpress.com/adding-users/

  Oh. That second screenshot indicates that you’re not talking about a wordpress.com blog at all. In which case my advice doesn’t apply and I’m afraid we can’t help you here.

  @godlike101: You have a self-hosted blog, not a blog on wordpress.com. You need to ask at wordpress.org instead.
