Hello HCC. Welcome to blogging testing.

Welcome to the blogging testing at HCC. We are trying to see if you can register and add comments to this topic. Note, as of this point you can register and add comments.

However we may be playing with the moderation approval features and if we do your comment may not appear until they are approved by a moderator. Check back later as the moderator approval process may have a slow turn around because we are using a temporary email account for the testing period.

He is the founder, developer and educator for Raritan Valley Community College Web Developer Certification program also having its roots in the 1990s at the dawn of the internet. He also was a key curriculum developer and instructor for one of the Nation's first Web Developer Certification program offered through New Jersey Institute of Technology.

  1. When you register, the default user Role is subscriber. This means you can only comment on existing posts. If I recognize your email as a paid member or you send me an email, I will upgrade your role to contributor so you can write posts which still will need moderation approval for final publishing.

    FYI the generic roles for WordPress are:
    * Administrator – Somebody who has access to all the administration features
    * Editor – Somebody who can publish posts, manage posts as well as manage other people’s posts, etc.
    * Author – Somebody who can publish and manage their own posts
    * Contributor – Somebody who can write and manage their posts but not publish posts
    * Subscriber – Somebody who can read comments/comment/receive news letters, etc.
