  Hi there,

  In order to contribute to your site, users would have to be invited first.

  If you want to add more users to your site, please visit the following link for instructions:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#adding-users-to-your-site

  Before you add folks, I suggest checking out the definition of each user role to keep the site safe and secure.

  I hope this helps! Best wishes to you.

  Hi there,

  Thank you for your answer. I have no problem inviting possible contributors to my blog, but the question remains the same: is there a feature in WP that might allow me to keep my blog open for anyone who wishes to write in it? Some sort of “auto-register” feature that allows them to create a user within my blog and let them publish their own posts, regardless of being or not invited by me?

  Thanks again.

  Hi there,

  While there isn’t a function to auto-register, what you can do is make it known on your contact page that people can email you to ask for an invite to contribute to the blog.

  Then you can create the invite. Unfortunately, besides that it would be possible on WordPress.com.

  I’m sorry I couldn’t be of more help!
