At the moment, there's no

At the moment, there's no way for you to edit or delete a piece of content - I can take care of it for you, though :) Also, good point about the google vids - I'm adding that to the list. Thanks for posting - great articles/videos!!

There is a possible issue

There is a possible issue with having the ability to take down or edit published information. It can be used, in the worst instances, to rewrite history. It would also mean that comments posted against an article could become completely meaningless if the content changes.

I would instead recommend that any posting of news has an opening of 1 or 2 days in which the author can edit or remove it. After that period, authors only get the right to publish amendments to the original article, and that the amendments appear at the bottom of the original article. This would maintain consistency.

I agree with what you are

I agree with what you are saying. Editing posted items would be like rewriting history, but I believe that the ability to delete an item is ok. At minimum, I would like to suggest the editing of the category and the tags on items that you post.
