  Hello,

  A few days ago, I just started a private blog, but there was a problem, I can’t add viewers???
  So I decided to delete my blog.

  I asked the same question a few days ago, but no one has answered my question!!!
  Please help me!

  If you do a forum search you’ll see that a lot of people have had this problem.

  If you describe the exact error you’re getting, maybe we can help find a solution.

  If your blog is private surely it’s not viewable to anyone but you, ergo they cannot follow something they don’t know exists. If you are inviting specific people to view your blog I’d suggest you check your settings to make sure they can access it.

  Ahem.

  There’s a way to invite people to view a private blog. That’s what the OP is referring to.

  @smintdtje: You already asked the same question here.

  Please don’t ask the same question in more than one place.
  I tagged the other thread Modlook to get staff’s attention.

  Even if my blog is private there must be a way to add viewers!
  There are so many private blogs WITH viewers!!!

  Or do you mean you want strangers to read your blog? IN that case, don’t make it private. You have to know people’s email address or WordPress.com ID in order to invite them.

  What is the specific error you’re getting? When in the process does it pop up? Are you inviting them by WordPress usernames or by email? Have they received the emails? If not, have they looked in their Spam folders?

  Yes, i know what they did wrong!!!
  I’ve asked them how they accept my invitation and they all begin with step 2, but there is also a step 1!!!!!

  Thank you very much for your time!

  Regards,
  Smindtje
