  How can someone accept an invitation to publish on a private blog if they do not have a WordPress account of their own?

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

  Hi elainepeters5,

  There are a number of free WordPress.com Plugins that enable this functionality.

  Go to WordPress.com and Navigate to My Sites > Plugins
  Here you can search for “Guest Post”. There are quite a few plugins to choose from that have this feature.

  I hope that helps! :-)

  It appears that you do not have a WordPress.com Business Plan, which means that is required to install plugins.

  By default, your guests will have to register with WordPress.com to post. To add them, go to My Site. Click on People > Add . Type the user’s email address or WordPress.com username. Then select a role form the drop down. Click Send Invitation.

  Good luck!
