  I have questions about registrations. My husband, for instance, appears to be registered at my site, in that when he clicks in or logs in, he can see his name in the upper right-hand corner. And yet he is NOT listed in the list of Users inn my dashboard. Given that, of course, I cannot enable him to author or to edit.

  When a person clicks the Registration button, he/she is taken to a WordPress.com page that seems to be a page to register to get one’s own blog, not simply to register at my site. Over on the right of the page is a hyperlink to only register at the site. Please explain the difference.

  Also, he is registered at another WordPress site, firedoglake, and had tried to register here with the same email, user name and password. The software told him his username was already taken. Why?

  Third, is there a way if registrations don’t get activated for some reason (no email, even in a person’s Junk mail, that I can enable their registration from the admin side of my site?

  He has registered as a WordPress.com user, but he’s not specifically a user on your blog.

  You’ll need to invite his account from Users -> Invite New in your blog’s Dashboard.
