  I hope someone can help. I have started a blog and wish to invite people to become contributors to it. I have configured it so that only those I invite can do so. But they receive an email asking them to start a blog! I know this will deter them and want to keep it simple. Any advice?

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

  If you go to Users on your dashboard you can add people there hope this helps

  Are you adding them at users > authors and users?

  During the wordpress.COM signup process, they can choose whether they want to start a blog or just get a user account. It is their choice.

  Thanks. I cannot see where they can choose whether they want to start a blog. I would like to write some instructions for them to make it simple. Can you help?
