  Hello,
  Can users created their own account? Like they would with joomla or drupal to access my wordpress site? Is this a premium feature? I simply want people who comes to the site create a username and password and have immediate access to the website (without inviting them) Is this possible?

  Thanks,
  Marty

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

  No, on WordPress.com you will have to invite users. Each one will need to set up a wp.com account, then accept your invitation.

  You would invite them for specific roles they could use to access your site here:

  Note that there are different kinds of WordPress. Possibly you could do what you want there with a self-hosted site with wp.ORG:

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org
