blog post submit- approval process

Vote:

I'm a beginner in episerver. I created a custom form which on submit, has to create a page(same as formpage type) dynamically and pass the property values to that page.

This page is saved with ready to publish status, so that epi admin can publish it from epi backend.

Please, suggest me how to associate the form property values to the newly created page.

VIEW:

@model PageViewModel

@{ Layout = "~/Views/Shared/Layouts/_Root.cshtml"; }

@using (Html.BeginForm("Submit", "BlogPage", FormMethod.Post, Model))
{

@Html.LabelFor(m => m.CurrentPage.ListingTitle)
@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.CurrentPage.ListingTitle)

@Html.LabelFor(m => m.CurrentPage.Brief)
@Html.TextAreaFor(m => m.CurrentPage.Brief)

@Html.LabelFor(m => m.CurrentPage.Title)
@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.CurrentPage.Title)

@Html.LabelFor(m => m.CurrentPage.Description)
@Html.TextAreaFor(m => m.CurrentPage.Description)

@Html.LabelFor(m => m.CurrentPage.AuthorName)
@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.CurrentPage.AuthorName)

CONTROLLER:

public ActionResult Index(BlogPage currentPage)
{
var model = PageViewModel.Create(currentPage);
return View(model);
}

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Submit(BlogPage currentPage)
{
PageReference parent = PageReference.StartPage;
IContentRepository contentRepository = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance();
IContentTypeRepository contentTypeRepository = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance();
BlogPage blog = contentRepository.GetDefault(parent);
blog.Name ="currentPage.Title";
blog.AuthorName = "currentPage.AuthorName";
blog.Brief = currentPage.Brief;
contentRepository.Save(blog, EPiServer.DataAccess.SaveAction.CheckIn);
return Content("ThankYou");
}
