Hi all,

I’m just starting a new blog and want to add users to admin/post in the blog too. Only thing is they don’t want there own blogs they want to just post in mine. I have sent an invite but the invite page wants them to create a blog too how do you get around this? This page says http://en.support.wordpress.com/adding-users/ “Your new user will receive an email inviting them to sign up for a WordPress.com account (and, optionally, create their own blog if they want)” so how to I not create a new blog?

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

Hidden on one of the screens when a person creates an account is a box to the effect

“I don’t want a blog”

It is hidden an your new users need to look for the box. The default is to create a new blog. A couple of my friends got mixed up even when I told them about the account only option.

The invites url is a little different but just sends you to this page https://en.wordpress.com/signup/ and nowhere there can I find a “I don’t want a blog” tick box or is it after this page you find the box?
