Gravity Forms can create posts. How you use it is up to you. But a form can be configured to create a WordPress post. That is easy to do using Post Fields. That can include image uploads, etc.
As far as link, photo, etc. if you are referring to "Post Formats", that is a new feature in WordPress 3.1 so it's not a feature that is built into the Gravity Forms post creation fields.
could the form be included in the main page at the top like facebook or would it have to be on it's own page?
I'm looking for a quick simple solution to use as a free classified listing form. No registration required.
I'm going to purchase Gravity either way as it seems to be the best solution for form creation around. Press75 recommended.
You can display the form wherever you want. It's designed to be displayed within a post or a page using a shortcode. However, it can also be called via a function call which you can place anywhere in your theme code.
When using the function call, however, you will have to manually enqueue the necessary CSS and Javascript that the form requires as it's unable to enqueue the necessary scripts in that situation. But there are instructions in the Documentation for this and a new function call in the 1.5 development release which makes it easier to use.
