Link for story submissions

This is probably because I edited the left toolbar and the user functions, but I can't figure out how to give my users a link to submit a story.
As an admin, the only place I seem to be able to submit a story is in the Story Admin section. As a regular logged-in user, even one with story.submit permissions, I can't see any way to submit a story.
If possible, I'd like a link to appear in both the User Functions section, and in the Stories page. (my site is http://www.ai-tools.org, so you can see what it looks like).
Any advice?
Thanks!
Sam

The link is usually part of the {menu_elements} variable for the menu bar (which you still seem to be using) and can be configured in config.php:
// a theme that uses the {menu_elements} variable in its header.thtml).
// Choose any combination of the following (order here = order in the menu).
$_CONF['menu_elements'] = array
(
// 'home', // link to homepage
'contribute', // contribute / "submit a story" link
To add a link to the User Functions block, you would have to write a mini plugin providing that link or modify the code (COM_userMenu in lib-common.php).

I know that this was a year ago, but does anyone have any info on how you would modify lib-common.php to add the Submit A Story link?
It seems like this would be a standard part of user functions.
Any help appreciated, thanks!
