  Hi!
  I created a blog and would prefer to keep the content private and limited to select individuals. If someone wants to read the blog, how do they request access and how do I approve this access?

  Thanks!

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

  There is a “Request an invite” link on the front of your site. People will need a WordPress.com account/username.

  This site is marked private by its owner. If you would like to view it, you’ll need permission from the site owner. Request an invite and we’ll send your username to the site owner for their approval.

  And you can invite people to be a viewer of your private WordPress.com site: https://en.support.wordpress.com/adding-users/#to-enable-a-user-to-view-your-private-blog
