Do added users have to set up a blog first?
-
Hello.
When I go into invites and send an email to another of my email addresses to test this feature,
it looks like the link wants me (as an invited potential user) must start a blog of my own.what if I do not want to do this.
The tutorials do not address this.Is there another page where the invited user can simply respond to “yes” and then be added
as a user in my blog?Thanks.

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

secondwindstaging,
Please provide a link to your blog when asking questions in these forums, starting with:
http://
If you have a wordpress.COM blog:
dashboard >blog stats > under ‘top posts and pages,’ ‘referrers,’ and so on, there is a list of your posts. To the right of each post title, you’ll see an icon which looks like a graph. Click that and you’ll see how many hits you got for that post. -

Hello 1tess,
I understand. Thanks for your attention to my questions.
I do not have a blog set up just yet. I am taking tutorials on WordPress and Lynda.com.
Some of the tutorials are a bit dated and do not have the exact same dashboards.I do have one website, http://www.batteryboulevard.com that is a WordPress blog.
However, I did not set it up.I have to learn more about how these blogs work.
I have a test blog I started that is not at all presentable.
I am moving around inside the dashboard and am at the ‘multiple users’
part of the tutorials. I did all that was instructed and when I go to
the email I typed in to send the invitation, I get only one option.
It looks like I need to sign up for a blog in order to become a second
user on an existing blog.Is that true?
Is my practice blog not set up properly and thereby not responding the way
it is supposed to.Dashboard–>Users–>Invites–>type in email and info –>click ‘send invite’—>
check the email (one of my other emails)—> click on the link in the email—.
taken to a page that asks me for my new blog domain.It looks like I would need to sign up a separate blog if I wanted to be
merely a contributor on someone else’s blog.Can you straighten me up about this.
Best,

secondwindstaging,
So sorry, I was answering someone else’s question and don’t know how I got to your post.
Anyway, your other blog is definitely a self-hosted blog. If the new blog you are setting up is also self-hosted, then you are in the wrong place:
Wordpress.COM ≠ WordPress.ORG
our software is different so our answers may not be relevant to your questions!

1tess,
The blog I am practicing on today where all of this is going on is not self-hosting.
I am going through all the tutorials so I can learn about both kinds of blogs.If you go into ‘Invites’ inside the wordpress.com (non-self-hosting) and try to add a new
user, you will find it is not an option to set up a user without the user signing on to their
own blog.After signing on another blog (I am doing a practice run), the window tells me the new blog
is mine, and I can sign onto the blog I was invited to join by using my existing password.
That password does not exist yet. It was never set up. I can only use my own original password
and it takes me to the “authors and users” page where I am still the only one on the list.I don’t know if you would not mind trying it yourself. Maybe you can see how I screwed up.
Thank you for being there.
I am a budding WordPress Builder.Regards,
April
