How do viewers use their invitation links? Do they need to create a blog?

  Greetings,

  It’s not clear to my viewer invitees, how to access my private site. The link they get emailed takes them to the wordpress.com front page, where the only option, it seems, is to create their own blog.

  Is this right?

  Thanks

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

  I didn’t have this issue when I invited an administrator.

  No blog needed – a blog is reserved to match their account name however

  The “I don’t want a blog today” option – or what ever it’s called today used to be hidden a bit – tell folks to look around a bit

  Found it. Invitees need to click sign in , then create an account, then look closely at the options on the right to find the ‘I don’t want a Blog today’ option. This is unnecessarily cumbersome I think.
  Thank you very much for your help.
