  Hi there,

  If you’re having trouble accepting the invitation for the private blog, please copy the link from the bottom of the invitation email, log in to your WordPress.com account, and paste that link directly into your browser’s address bar. That will accept the invitation so you can view and follow the blog.

  Please let me know if I can do anything more to help with that. :)

  Dear rachelmcr,
  and for those who do not have a WordPress account but are email followers?

  Hi giacomosalerno,

  This thread is specifically about inviting viewers to a private blog, and you must have a WordPress.com account in order to log in and view a private blog. If you invite someone to view a private blog, they will need to sign up for a WordPress.com account first if they don’t already have one.

  If you have any questions about invitations for a public blog, please start a new forum thread so we can keep those questions separate. :) Thanks!
