  Hi there, I love the platform but how to I create a blog where 25 or so students can submit work on my blog and critique each others work? Many thanks, Dan.

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

  You can invite them as authors:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#adding-users

  They will each need to have an account. They won’t need to set up a blog.

  You will be able to invite them 10 at a time. But you can invite all 25.

  You are welcome.

  One thing you might consider, if you want the students to respond (in comments) to each others’ blogs is to have them subscribe to them so they will be notified whenever another student puts up a new post or essay.
