  I’m very new to blogging but have created my blog as a place where partners and families of problem gamblers can go to share their experiences. I will be posting various things regularly but would like people (the partners and family members in need) to be able to post their own stories (by emailing their stories for me to post?) or adding comments to my posts.

  I’d appreciate any help anyone could provide to help ensure my blog not only looks good but is user friendly and works well to help those I’m reaching out to. Any ideas or tips would be great.

  Thanks for your time.

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

  This is a good place to start:

  Homepage

  as for having random outsiders contribute, the best way is for you to have a Contact Form so people can type their stuff into that. Formatting doesn’t work in the Contact Box, for security reasons, so they can only include text.
