    We cannot post on another blog unless or until the blog’s owner sends us an official invitation to contribute to their blog, which we have accepted. Then the blog’s owner can assign us a specific role. I will post the process below.

    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 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 but does not need to register a blog. The invitees who lack username accounts select the “username only” option here:
    https://signup.wordpress.com/signup/?user=1hat requirement is because the software has to be able to differentiate between hackers and official blog 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.

    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.

    If you have received and accepted an invitation from the blog’s owner to contribute to their blog at https://uiowabcap.wordpress.com/ then type modlook into the sidebar tags on this thread for Staff help.

  • Looks like you were able to accept your invitation and post to this site, so I’ll close this out. Cheers!
