    I am trying to set up a blog onto which several people can post under their own names. What is the best way to do this? Do we all need to sett up our own accounts, usernames and passwords etc?

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

    Yes – but they don’t need to set up a blog

    This is a follow-up and expansion of auxclass’s reply.

    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.
    See here:

    As noted above they need accounts but do not need to register blogs. 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.

    The limit is 10 invitations at any point in time. It’s a spammer prevention limit. So simply wait and then send out 10 more.
