  I’m trying to add a contributor to the NWNL blog, so that she can write blog posts on my blog. <<Would it be better to invite her as an author?>> I’ve created a new category on my blog for her to write articles. However, she does not want a blog of her own, only a wordpress account to comment and post. Is this possible? Please let me know how she can contribute to the NWNL blog without setting up her own blog. (She should not have complete admin access.)

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  If you’d like to invite others to publish posts or help approve comments on your blog, you can invite them to be a Contributor, Editor, or Author.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/adding-users/
  A contributor only needs to register a username (not a blog) and the registration form has a “only a username please” option.
  User roles are described here http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/
