    How do my contributors find a way to add a post to my blog? I have listed their names as contributors and they have created an ID and password. What’s next? Do they have to have a copy of WordPress?

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

    Hi there! Once they have been added to your site, and they have accepted their invitations, they can log in with their new users names/passwords at WordPress.com.

    They will see one of two things in the right side of the menu bar: a pencil with a plus sign, or a tab called, “New Post.” When they click that button, they’ll be able to add a new post to your site.

    If they’re new at WordPress.com, you can send them this link to talk them through posting:

    Also, depending on how you wish to edit or approve their posts, you may wish to change them to authors. Here are the differences between the user roles:

    Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks much!
