  Assume I have someone who assisting me with posts. Is there a way I could prevent a large-scale deletion of pages as a matter of security.

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

  Do NOT share your login information with anyone ever.
  Do NOT make that person an Admin of the blog.

  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.

  If you wish you can change blog visibility to private go to > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 3 . See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

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

  They need to register username accounts but do not need to register blogs. 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.

  The limit is sending out 10 invitations at any point in time. It’s a spammer prevention limit. So simply wait and then send out 10 more.
