hosting an anonymous blog
-
I want to host the anonymous blog of someone I know, so I added another blog on my account but my profile and gravatar seem to come up by default. Do they need to sign up separately? Can an account be anonymmous? Can a blog within an account be anonymous and not linked to the account in any way visible to reader?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Every WordPress.COM blog has a sole owner and it is the person with the WordPress.COM username account who registered the blog under that username account and associated email address. Every username account can have only one gravatar that appears on all blogs registered under it.
To disassociate blogs currently registered under the same username accounts see here for step by step instructions http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/08/14/separate-username-accounts-separate-blogs/
Can a blog within an account be anonymous and not linked to the account in any way visible to reader?
You can make the visibility private. To change blog visibility to private go to > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 3 . See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/
The word anonymous may be misleading as we can all blog pseudonymously but remaining unidentified is up to us and those we who can expose us. In other words, the weakest link is the blogger and any official users they have on their blog.
If you’d like to invite others to publish posts or help approve comments on your blog, you can invite them to be a Contributor, Editor, or Author. If you want users to receive updates each time you publish new content you can invite them to be a follower/viewer.

http://en.support.wordpress.com/adding-users/ and here http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/They need WordPress.COM accounts but not blogs. They will need to click the “Accept Invitation” button in the invitation email. If they are logged into their WordPress.com account, they will be taken directly to your blog. If not, they will be taken to the log-in screen, where they can either log in or create a new user account.
Note that users who create a new WordPress.com account at that point will still need to return to the invitation email and click the “Accept Invitation” button after doing so.
The limit is 10 invitations at any point in time. It’s a spammer prevention limit. So simply wait and then send out 10 more.
