When we first launched the private blog feature we limited it to 5 folks per blog while we could work out the details and the bugs.
A lot of people let us know they wanted more, and many said they’d pay for a few more users on their blog.
Well, now we’ve decided to make it so you can have up to thirty-five members on a blog absolutely free.
For people who want more than 35 members on a private blog, we’re probably going to make that a paid upgrade.
But for now, invite 35 of your closest friends to your secret or members-only blog, and talk about all those things you couldn’t on your public blog. 🙂
I am really excited by this development. Now make it easier for Julia and I to invite our friends to WordPress and subscribe to her blog by email 😉
That’s a good chance. It’s like a little private forum.
Thank you guys!
Sweet! I’ve got you at least one more customer that needs a private blog!
Good work…yet again!
35 strikes me as odd number.
Oh, good for those with private blogs. Chears!
This place is getting better and better day after day! What’s next?!? 😉
Thanks! Love the *more friends* option 😉
Very cool! Thank you. 🙂
Thanks guys.
nice
that’s a much more sensible number, thanks!
Sweet!!
thanks!
Very good 😉
Everyday better than yesterday!
YES!! Now I can talk about all those innapropriate things with more friends.
Wait, I would never talk about something innapropriate.
Very nice as I did want to add content only specific users could see but couldn’t only choose five people. 😛
Thanks. It seems a chance to make a community forum better.
Who doesn’t want more friends? 🙂 Thanks, guys!
Is this like the LiveJournal thing?
Thank you so much, that was a major upgrade.
Awesome addition! Can’t wait for the next update. I am so spoiled. Thank you!
good one..
Is there any to contact with the owner of private blog?

Five to Thirty Five. Wow! It is fantastic…
Keep growing!
Best Smile,

Pfft.
Now the presure’s on.
I thought 5 people was an accomplishment…
Right. *raids 1973s School Year book and wonders who to contact*

Well then – incentive to get my friends on here :D.
Really cool 😀
I’ve just started my private blog yesterday, before this feature is announced 😎
I don’t know where I’ve been, but I had no idea this feature existed. Fascinating! Thanks for the tip…
I am very very excited about this new development and also anxious to make new friends God bless you.
I’ll tell you a story
About Jack-a-Nory,
And now my story’s begun;
I’ll tell you another,
About Jack and his brother,
And now my story is done.
Great job, guys. Yet another reason why WordPress is the best out there.
I hope i can really have more friends with this! God bless you all!
Thanks a lot, Matt.
For some people a quite interesting feature ;-).
good, this thing seems to be improving. i was always afraid that blogger might become a lot better within sometime, but it’s nice to see wordpress too implementing new features
you guys rock!
great ..wordpress is bestest
and now… looking for friends…
this is superb!
and I always thought people stop improvising once they gain critical mass!
Cheers, besties

Sounds like a great choice for a pay feature.
I like the model of keep what’s good for 95% of the users free, and make some money off of the people who want that last 5%.
This is cool, blogging at it’s heights, only at wordpress….
add me
what about 50, that’s better
try add me then 😀
35? Why not? It’s just crazy enough to work….
Spookily, 35 is the exact number of friends I have on lj. Not that I’m planning on moving, but it’s a nice, manageable number.
Thats cool..but none of my friends that i know of blog..so yeah I won’t be using it. 😦
i just happy to be part of this, because i love meet new friends , love you all.
How do I invite friends? Please give me precise instructions. Thanks.
HEY HO LET’S GO TO ROCK AND ROLL THE WORLD
Thanks a lot
35 – already enough for now…
sheida
more is better obviously.nice job
LOVE ME LOVE MY BLOG
Nice feature. I might start my own private blog now..! 🙂
Now i can have more readers on my studpid n secret things 😀 Thanks !
Nope! I vont to be alone … (Marlene Dietrich, I presume). I’m not sharing my blog, no ways. My subjects are sometimes far too contentious to have someone share the same blog.
hey look very exited because my blog is up now thank you WordPress!!
I can finally start that blog which we couldn’t due to the limited number of friends.
lol – 35 friends huh ? lol well thats cool ! 🙂
Tout ce qui sera fait pour améliorer la diffusion des blogs me rendra heureux. Je vote pour!
g0oo00!!! blo00ogers….
Keep it up!!! r0ck ON!!!
kaya yan ng pinoy!!!:-*
Sounds like an awesome upgrade … thanks!
~firefly
I would like to Music
COOL COOL COOL
I dunno, cool I guess…I mean everybody says its cool and it sounds pretty cool. But I wonder if people will just clamor for bigger groups for private postings and the public blog will but wither away eventually. Nah, my catastrophism is misplaced I think. Nice addition WordPress, now if I can only convince my friends to read my blog instead of watching bad television…
good
do strangers count? ha
cool beans
what’s the status of the ‘more than 35’ option?
