  I would like to add about 10 people to post comments on my blog. Many of them are seniors and cannot and would not create their own blogs. Is there a way I can have them post links, comments, etc to my blog without requiring them to create their own?

  THANK YOU

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

  Hi there, can anyone help me with this? I would like to have other people post to my blog, but wordpress seems to think they need their own separate blogs to do that. Is there anyway to have multiple authors on ONE blog?

  1. Anyone can submit comments to a public blog.
  2. Only those who have received invitations and accepted them and registered a wordpress.com username account can post content into a blog. If WordPress.com did not require a username account then every spammer, scammer and porn slimeball in the world could post to the blog.
