  I just set up a blog and I want to allow some other people to post to it. So, to see how that works I tried adding myself (under a different email address) as an author. What I got was an invitation to set up a blog. I don’t want my co-authors to have to set up their own blogs. Can they just register as authors on my blog without setting up their own blogs?

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

  It is necessary to have a wordpress.com account to post on a blog. And Yes they can post to a blog, without setting up a new blog. Ask them to sign up at http://wordpress.com/signup with the same email you invited and chose last-one of the following options below the sign up form:

  (*) Gimme a blog!
  ( ) Just a username please.

  Gimme a blog will take you to blog signup page and Just a username will finish at the spot. :)
