How do I allow someone else to be the administrator long enough to add some gra?
-
I need some graphic elements on my blog, and a friend of mine who is much more computer savvy than I was going to help me in that regard. In order to do that, though, she has to be signed on as the administrator, if only temporarily. how do I do that?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I’m going to break my answer up into two comments below. Read both before taking any action please.
You can have either a public or a private blog and there is no limitation on the total number of contributors to any blog. If you’d like to invite others to publish posts or help approve comments on your blog, you can invite them to be an Administrator, 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.
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
See here please:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/adding-users/ and here http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/The person will have to register a username account which requires an email address only, but does not need to register a blog. That requirement is because the software has to be able to differentiate between hackers and official users and allow access only to those with username accounts and official roles on the blog.
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.

WordPress.COM is a turnkey operation. If you are into any sophisticated site building then this is not the place for that. WordPress.ORG software is for that. Please read this comparison https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/ For hosting see http://wordpress.org/hosting/
Here at WordPress.COM we do not require coding skills and do not require anyone else to upload images into the spaces provided for them as defined by our themes. Every theme has a detailed theme description page with set up instructions and defined dimensions and positions for images. Every theme also has a live demo site.
Example:
https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/ryu/
http://ryudemo.wordpress.com/Have you consulted this support doc? https://en.support.wordpress.com/customizer/
If you have not purchased the Premium upgrade bundle which includes the custom design upgrade, then note that no changes you try out aside from those such as Custom Background, Custom Header, etc. which are stated on the theme description pages in the features column (right hand side) will be visible to visitors.
See:

http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/editing-css/
http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/custom-fonts/You do not need to load the design tools unless you have the Custom Design upgrade. All of these functions can be accessed from your dashboard – without loading the custom design tools – no upgrade required.
Appearance > Header
Appearance > Background
Appearance > Theme Options (applicable only to some themes)
Settings > Reading (set a static front page)
Site Title and Tagline > Settings > GeneralIf you are using the preview mode for the Custom Design upgrade some of the settings in that mode will save but they won’t show up on the front end unless you purchase the upgrade.
To go back to the free options, go to Appearance → Themes → Customize → Colors and click the “exit the preview” link in yellow at the top of the panel on the right.

As your username account was registered previous to September 1st, 2014 you do not have to purchase a premium upgrade bundle for the CSS editing. You can purchase an custom design upgrade individually.
