Is there a way to find out someone's username if you only know their blog?
-
I’m trying to invite people to join my private blog, but for a few of them, I only know their blog–not the username. Is there someway I can find out so I can invite them, or do I need to leave them a comment asking them to tell me?

Some themes will show authors next to posts or next to comment replies. If the blog is xxx.wordpress.com then the username is often xxx, but leaving a comment and asking is the only way to be sure

You’d have to ask the person for their email address. WordPress won’t give out that information. If they have a contact form you could use that to ask them privately. Or you could invite them to view your blog either in a comment or in their contact form so they will see this:
http://alifeonmission.wordpress.com/ is marked private by its owner. You can:
Request access to view the site. We’ll send your username to the site owner for their approval.

Thanks. I was aware of that, and it was indeed the case for most of them, but a couple of them weren’t.
