There are times when I also get frustrated as I don't really understand the actual process, who does what etc. But, to date, clicking 'create content' on the menu bar up above..........works for me. BUT, one's content doesn't necessarily appear staright away (I don't know why !) I agree also that it would be 'nice' to know who is actually moderating the site.
