[wp-hackers] Signup form/post form outside of wp-admin

[Paul Menard]

Greeting all,

Long time reader first time poster.

I have a client that want to allow users to signup for comments and  
allow access to create their own post entries. I know I can turn on  
the option to allow sometime who registers to also create content  
(content author). After discussing this with the client though they  
do not want the user to need to access the WP admin section to create  
these post. In other words they would like a simple form hosted  
external that will allow the person to sign-on and create the post.

So my question to the group is. Is this possible without too much  
effort? Has anyone done something like this before that I can  
possibly use as a starting point?

Thanks for all possible replies.

Paul
