  Okay, can anyone explain what each User position is (other than admin)? I want one that someone can edit and create posts-everything an admin can (but not get the admin panel). Would that be editor or Author?

  Certainly. From the FAQs

  However, please note this:
  What is the difference between Users > Add User and Privacy > Add User ?
  User > Add user means you are letting someone into the admin of your blog. They can contribute to the blog. How much they can do depends on what role you give them but they still get in. Privacy > Add User means all they can do is see the blog. They cannot get into admin, they can just read the blog. http://faq.wordpress.com/2006/05/07/can-i-password-protect-my-whole-blog/
