Thanks very much for the inspiration. The article over at Pro-blogger has been very useful, too, so thanks for sharing that at well.

The community news at DesignM.ag is basically run like this:

- I set up a “news” category and manually excluded it from the main loop in WP.

- I used the advanced category excluder plugin to remove it from the feed (it’s possible to do manually, but for some reason I was having trouble excluding two categories manually so I decided to use the plugin).

- I have a form set up for people to submit news.

- I create a new post and use custom fields so that the title of the posts used in the sidebar will link directly to the news item rather than to the post that’s created on my site in the news category.

- I then used Yahoo Pipes to also create a feed that includes the news.

The adapted comment form is used at PSDTUTS and the other sites in that family and you’re probably already aware of Collis’ tutorial to set that up. I considered that approach but felt that this one was a bit easier and gave me some more options, although it does require publishing a post.
