  I was asked to contribute to a wordpress blog. I created my own account, published and now want to send the same blog to the person who requested that I contribute. How can I do this?

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

  Email it to them? If s/he wanted you to publish it originally on their blog they need to Invite you to be an Author or Editor.

  I’m authorized as a contributor to another blog. Don’t understand the mechanics of it. Do I do it from my own account, login to the other blog, etc?

  You do it from your own account, assuming that account is authorized on that blog. Just go to that blog and create a post like normal.

  Raincoaster: I’ve done some experimenting and have basically got the hang of it now. One wrinkle I didn’t stumble on for a while was that Contributors cannot create Pages only Posts. Need Editor privileges for Pages. Thanks again for your help.
