I usually just set a "live" toggle in the table. Once the end users
approves, she can click the "post" or "I love it now make it live" button,
and you flip that bit to "on" or "true" or 1 or whatever :-)
IOW, you write each form submission to the DB, and display it in it's
intended final state (graphics, etc), as often as needed. Then you make it
live on the "approved" posting.
HTH-YMMV,
