How do invited users accept the invitation?
-
When I invite new users, they do not get the screen you say they should. This makes it impossible for them to accept the invitation. The person I invited is sitting beside me with their laptop and is sharing the same broadband connection.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there!
What screen are you expecting them to see? And what screen do they see? If you could take a screenshot and upload it your Media Library, that would be very helpful.
If the user does not have a WordPress.com account, the email will have two steps in it. Step one is creating a WordPress.com account. Once the account is created, they should go back to the email and click on the Accept Invitation link.
Let me know how it goes!

Hello – yes, you have identified the screen they see which indeed gives two steps. However, in the help section it indicates only one step/
Anyway, Cass duly went through step one – and we ended yup with a new blog associated with mine and YouVoteOrgUk (cassandrastaples). This she did not want and so it has been deleted. Then she clicked on the Accept link.
This took her to a page on the youvoteorguk site – but when she then went to put up a new blog, it showed me as the author and not her. That totally negates what we want to achieve and doesn’t make sense – she was asking certain people to “contact me” which is why it doesn’t make sense. Anyway, that blog has been trashed.
Any thoughts? It could be that it was a mistake to use my account to create the youvoteorguk site and we should have tackled that as a separate matter. If that is the cdase, is there any way of removing the link but keeping both sites?
Any thoughts?
All best wishes

Thanks for the heads up! I’ll make sure the documentation is up to date.
It sounds like you may have gone to the signup page while logged into your account. In order to make Cass a new account so she can log into your site, you’ll need to be logged out. And then she can visit this page:
https://signup.wordpress.com/signup/
That will create an account for her. And then she can accept the invitation.
Does that clarify things? Let me know how it goes!

That’s very kind of you. There is something you could perhaps tell me. The pressure group we have set up calls itself YouVote (trying to get more people to vote in elections). Is there some way of, if this is the right way of putting it, embedding a metalink into the blog site so that search engines would find it is someone entered either YouVote or You Vote?
This is really all your fault – you people are so very helpful that we people rather like talking to you and so think of things to ask you.

Sure! Probably the best location for this type of text to get your site to show up in searches is to make it the title of your site. It looks like you’ve already done this, so from here out the best way to increase your search results is to consistently post content and increase viewership.
We do a lot of SEO work for you already. We make sure that all of our pages are setup to be indexed by search engines. You can read more about that here:

Sharing your posts to your social media networks like Facebook and Twitter through our Publicize feature is a great way to increase your viewers.
You can also manually request that Google index new pages through Google’s Webmaster Tools. This can help make sure your site is reindexed in a timely manner, gives you some additional stats, and verifies your site to Google.
Consistently creating content is the best way to grow you search engine page ranking, and our post scheduling feature is really great for this! It allows you to set up posts to publish in the future. I use this all the time on my own site so that I can create two weeks worth of content in one day and just let WordPress do its magic in publishing them when I want.

Let me know if you have any questions, and I’ll be happy to help :)
