  I need to create a blog with access restricted to a number of members.
  How can I do that?

  You can make your blog private from Settings > Privacy in your dashboard by choosing the third option there.

  Then, you can add the usernames of those whom you wish to be able to access the blog into the box on that page. If your friends don’t have a WordPress.com account yet, they can signup at http://wordpress.com/signup/ and let you know their username.

  Let us know if we can be of any more help!

  Thanks for your response.
  How can I then manage my users’ accounts?

  The user accounts are created through WordPress.com, not your blog specifically, so management is limited.

  What specifically were you trying to do?
