  Hi have set up a blog for a class. I would like to be the administrator of some of the pages so that only I can add content. I have set up a page for each student and would like them to be able to add text and images on their page but am having trouble setting this up. I appreciate any tips or advice you have. The blog is http://narrative2010.wordpress.com.
  Thanks!

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

  @narrative3511 The Administrator role allows you to edit everything, and the Author role will allow students to only edit their own content. See the User Roles support page for more details.

  Thanks desigsimply. When I asssign the Author role to my students it appears they can add text and edit it but they can’t add images. Please advice. Thanks!

  That’s odd. Are you sure you assigned them Author roles and not Contributor roles? If they do have Author roles then they ought to be able to upload images into posts. If they are Contributors they can’t.

  An author can edit, publish and delete their posts, as well as upload files/images. … A contributor does not have the ability to upload files/images.

  So if the assigned roles for your students is Author then you will need to help from Staff. http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/
