  In the process of getting started with my blog, I set it up to be visible only to uses I chose. I then invited one individual and made that person an author. When I log on I see that this author has a dashboard which allows him to invite other participants. Doesn’t that conflict with the privacy setting?

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

  I don’t think someone with “author” privileges can add a user. Only the blog owner can add users as far as I know.

  The form to invite a participant is available on the Author’s dashboard. Thhis i something that needs a clear answer. If other participants can circumvent teh privacy settings then clearly there’s an issue of who’s in control of your blog.

  Did you sign in as an author? Did you try to add a user while signed in as an author?

  I doubt they actually can, but what you will have to do is wait until Monday after support is again open and then contact them at http://support.wordpress.com/contact .
