I have a site but how do i get others to register in it?
-
I have a wordpress blog. I’ve seen other blogs where you can “register to site”. so meaning, they’re a user to just that site. I don’t want the users to go through wordpress.com and register there because it leaves them the option of creating a blog and there’s no point in that because they won’t need it.
So yea, how do i make the link? and how do i put it on my site?
i know the link is something like: “http://xxxxxxx.com/wordpress/wp-login.php?action=register” (with the xxxxxx being the website domain.)BTW. this is a site for a club. so the registration would be for members of the club. thats why they don’t need the blog option.

This makes little sense to me.
You have a wordpress.com blog?
The name and url of your blog, you should know yourself – it will be something like http://yourname.wordpress.com/If you set your blog to public, no one needs to log in, unless what you mean that these people should also write to the one blog.
If you set your blog to members, then your members needs to create a wordpress account.
And what do you mean “So yea, how do i make the link? and how do i put it on my site?”
What sort of site, what sort of link?

Sorry. I might not have been very clear. Yes, I knwo my own url. It was just an example.
When I say “site”, I mean my blog. I want members to be able to comment with a username because there will be some people who will want to spam and not use some inappropriate name. But it’s not exactly a “user” where they can write a blog.
As for the “link,” I’ve seen links on other people’s blog that say “register”/”login” and when you click on that, it leads you to a page where you can register to that site…

That register/login thing is not something offered here at WordPress.com; it is on externally-hosted, independent blogs.
Here are the different roles possible at WordPress.com:

This link you referenced: http://xxxxxxx.com/wordpress/wp-login.php?action=register leads me to believe that you have a self-hosted blog rather than a blog hosted here at wordpress.com. The software you are using is different from what we use here, and we have far more limitations and the answers we give you may not work for you. As an example, to register users with a self-hosted blog is different from what we do here at the free hosting service, wordpress.com.
Support for self-hosted blogs using the software downloaded from wordpress.org, is over at http://wordpress.org/support/ .

I want people to be able to post on my site without having to have a wordpress account, just post and I’ll approve or not.
Can I do that with a wordpress hosted account?
-
@dynamicrewards, are you talking about comments or posts? If posts, you would have to set each of them up as author’s or contributors and they would have to have, or sign up for a wordpress.com account (they do not have to have a blog).
See the FAQ’s in rain’s post above.

Richard, i want to allow my visitors to post videos on my site , I want them to be able to do it under comments though or am I using the wrong application, its a community video portal http://www.mybigpizzaparty.com
-
Video’s and images cannot be embedded in comments here at wordpress.com, just links to them.
Even with the software from wordpress.org, you cannot do that out of the box, you would have to either find a plugin (or plugins) or “hack” the underlying wordpress and theme files to do that.
-
So the only option is allow people to sign up with wordpress and then authorise them to post in which can video can be embedded or take it off the wordpress server and create a membership system, am I understanding correctly

What you might want instead is a wiki. Check Wikispaces and mediawiki for options.
