The Perdox Rant

WordPress, the software that drives this site, assigns different ‘roles’ to different users. Each role has various capabilities and restrictions that dictate what can be done in the administration panel. When you registered for this site, you were automatically assigned the role of ‘Contributor’. Below is an explanation of what each role can and cannot do.

Administrator

An administrator can do everything. The admin user has complete power over posts/pages, comments, settings, theme choice, importing, users—everything. Nothing is off-limits, including, in a fit of total insanity, deleting the entire blog!

Editor

An editor can publish, edit, and delete any posts/pages (this includes the posts/pages of others), moderate comments, manage categories, manage tags, manage links and upload files.

Author

An author can edit, publish and delete their posts (but not the posts/pages of others) and they can upload files.

Contributor

A contributor can edit their posts but cannot publish. Once a contributor’s post is approved by an administrator and published, however, it may no longer be edited by the contributor.

Changing your role

If you are  interested in posting on a regular basis and you would like to be autonomous, please contact us about changing your role to either an author or an editor.

The role of an editor is very important. In order to become an editor,  you must having an excellent command of the English language and be able to correct the syntax and grammar of the posts submitted by others. If you think you can do it, and you are willing to commit some of your spare time, then please let perdox know. Use the contact form to send perdox an email message. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
