Metabox is one of the great addition on WordPress, it allows plugin and theme developers to add sections to Write Post, Write Page, and Write Link editing pages.
I’ve used metabox for front end submission too! Since most of my clients always asked that feature, where users can submit part of their content (for example) and the admin of the site can review and publish that information.
