  So I was hoping to have a custom user role that falls something in-between Author, and Contributor. We want a site that allows a user to create a post, upload photos, but not be able to publish the post. We want the editor to be the only one that can publish the final post. Is this possible?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  The User roles supported on WordPressdotcom are Administrator, Editor, Author, Contributor and Viewer, but otherwise it is not possible to create custom user roles. https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/

  Thank you Justjennifer. Is it possible to do this using the wordpress install version? the downloadable one on wordpress.org?

  Possibly. You could search in the WP Codex or ask in the WP Support forums about custom user roles.
