    I plan on having several authors on my blog, so I was wondering how you add the “posted by ________” and the date written part on the blog byline or such. And when you click on the name, it links you to all the posts written by that person. Is that possible to do? My blog is http://www.themedschoolblog.com and my theme is apostrophe

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

    Some themes are designed to display author bylines and some are not. Boardwalk will display official authors https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#author
    Scroll to the end of the post and note “published by” https://boardwalkdemo.wordpress.com/2014/11/14/a-standard-post-without-a-featured-image/ In reference to those themes that do display author bylines there must be at least two authors who have both published a post in the blog for the author bylines to display.

    You can have either a public or a private WordPress.COM hosted 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 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.

    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.

    Upon receipt of the invitation the invitee will need to click the “Accept Invitation” button in the invitation email. If the invitee is logged into their WordPress.com username account, he or she will be taken directly to your blog. If not, he or she will be taken to the log-in screen, where he or she can either log in, or can register a new WordPress.COM user account.

    Note that invitees who do 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.

    Lastly, there is a built-in spammer prevention so send out only 10 invitations at one point in time and then wait and manage those before sending out 10 more.
