I want to make a public blog, Where user can write from the frontend after login.
Basically in wordpress, after login, Users being redirect to wp-admin, the Dashboard. And there they have the 'new post' functionality. But i want to keep that away from my bloggers. They will login from the custom login panel in the sidebar and they will have a new post link there, which will take them to www.domainname.com/new-post or something like that. There they will have the full functionality of wordpress content editor. Upload, Main text-area with Editor, Tag and Category. All of them in the frontend so that i don't have to show them the wp-admin section.
is there any way to make this happen?
It looks like that what you describes can be easily done with this plug-in:

How to add get post link feature beneath my posts in my WordPress website so that visitors can easily share that link wherever they want ... I need a dedicated button for that .... is it possible in WordPress? P.S. I don't want to copy from the browser url field.
I want to add some extra form fields to an existing page in Wordpress.
This page is where you are redirected whenever you edit a post or page.
My problem is I don't know where to find this file or what its called.
I need to know what file i need to edit in order to be able to add the new inputs.
this page would only be seen if you are an administrator and logged in and in dashboard.
I'm using wordpress edge shuffle theme.
The easiest way to solve this is to use Advanced Custom Fields. ACF allows you to specify custom fields that appear on certain edit pages in the admin. You'll then have custom data to use on your frontend templates.
Check out this tutorial for more.
For me, as I was just trying to figure out how to edit my posts page
While logged on to my admin account to edit, I went to my actual page and the top admin bar had an option of "customize" and that took me where I needed to go to add some css
I chose Wordpress for my last project but I have a question. I'll use Pages so the client is able to change the content himself. For the moment there are no Post or blog in it. Is it possible to run Wordpess without a blog? It'll be a blog in a future but not now. Thanks.
Absolutely you can have a WordPress site without a blog. You just need to do a couple of things in the admin.
First you need to create 2 pages: a static 'home' page, and a 'blog index' page. The home page is what will be displayed when a visitor comes to the site. The blog index page is just a blank page, with a title you can remember.
Next, in Settings > Reading, select Front page displays a 'static page', then set 'Front page:' to the home page you made, and 'Posts page:' to the blog index page you made.
Yes, for sure you can do this.
Just do the following:
In your admin backend click on Settings -> Reading and set "A Static Page"
Go to Appearance and build a custom menu and add there your pages to a active menu.
Disable all widgets which link to posts.
In fact you need only the first step, but with the second you allow users to navigate on your site. To make the UX better, just add a plugin like Map Categories to Pages to add a category widget or something in this way, to let people browse your site more nicely.
Secenario is that website has an admin for website in wordpress and users
can only post/edit their posts.
User panel is diffrent form main theme (its default gray one).
Is there a way to write a custom user panel that would work with wordpress
login and that would look like main site, having only post/edit/logout functions?
yes, you can change how your dashboard looks.
on how to change the style of dashboard - take a look here.
on how to restrict user access to only certain parts of the dashboard - you can do that easily with the capability manager plugin.
Anybody knows a good plugin for Wordpress to provide a nice Admin dashboard which also cleans the regular Wordpress update mess. I do not want customer getting distracted with the loaded content in the backend with events, news and updates (messy content updates) in the Backend login? Thanks in advance.
I'm not sure if I understand what you're needing. If you're looking for a way to hide a lot of the stuff in the WordPress control panel, Adminimize is a good plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/adminimize/
There are also plugins to hide the update reminder: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/hide-update-reminder/
And to control what appears on the add/edit post page: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-cms-post-control/
Using a combination of the above, you can redirect users directly to the post page (skipping the dashboard) when they log in, and limit what they see in the control panel menu to an amazing extent. You can allow them to see widgets, for instance, but not see the themes page.
Hope this helps.

In the latest WordPress versions, >2.7, you can set the admin screen to display only a subset of the Admin widgets.
Just click on Screen Options at the top right of the Admin page to reveal option checkboxes.
For example, you can uncheck "WordPress Development Blog", and "Other WordPress News". You can even format the screen to be just one column and only show the "QuickPress" widget.
