  I want to ensure that my postings only go to invited email address/followers. How do I confirm we are a private site

  Log out, clear your browser cache and cookies, and then visit the site. This site is not private https://pgehoa.wordpress.com/ It is public.

  You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard and navigate to Settings → Reading and then scroll down to Site Visibility.

  To change blog visibility to Private go to > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 3 .

  You can have either a public or a private blog and there is no limitation on the total number of contributors to any blog. If you’d like to invite others to publish posts or help approve comments on your blog, you can invite them to be a Contributor, Editor, or Author. If you want users to receive updates each time you publish new content you can invite them to be a follower/viewer.

  See here:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/adding-users/ and here http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/

  The person will have to register a username account but does not need to register a blog. That requirement is because the software has to be able to differentiate between hackers and official users and allow access only to those with username accounts and official roles on the 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.
