  thanks for your patience

  it seems they have to be added with some “role” yet “no role” is not an option from what i can see

  is there a step or two in the process i am missing out on?

  thanks again

  Did you read vivianpaige’s answer above?
  Make your blog private.
  Invite your readers.
  They will have to sign up for a free wordpress.com user name.
  (They will not need to start their own blogs.)

  i did.

  if i don’t add them as a user the login doesn’t work

  and the only option to add them as a user is to give them a “role”

  have you guys tried to do this with 2.7?

  tks

  That is not the case. You can add any wordpress.COM user to your private blog and they do not have to be assigned roles. Have you read the FAQ on private blogs?

  And if it is not working correctly, you need to contact support.

  that’s what it says sure enough

  wish it was the case

  “Here you can add and remove WordPress.com usernames from the access list. By adding WordPress.com usernames to the access list you are not giving the users access to the Dashboard of the blog. This list only gives users access to read the the blog.”
