  I would like to add a page on my blog where readers can sign up as a user to the blog. their default role will be as contributor. how do i do this so they can sign up themselves, instead of me having to manually do it from the admin site every time?

  WordPress is not always WordPress, yes a bit confusing at times, but

  Your site is not hosted on WordPress.COM, this site is for support of sites hosted on WordPress.COM. You should address your questions to WordPress.ORG the keepers of the software you are using: http://wordpress.org/support/
