  I have invited a person to be an author on my blog. They receive the email and press accept invitation but when I go to the blog it says the person has not accepted and the choices shown are “waiting” or “delete invitation.” When the person goes to WordPress, the only choice she has is to make her own blog. What are we doing wrong?

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

  The person being invited will have to register a username account, if they do not already have one, but they do not need to register a 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.
