user administrator add to my blog
-
why does a user that I have invited by email to be an administrator on my blog have to have a wordpress.com site ?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

This is because it is the only way the software can identify bona fide blog users and differentiate them from hackers. Think about it.

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.
To 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

https://signup.wordpress.com/signup/?user=1hat requirement is because the software has to be able to differentiate between hackers and official blog 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.
Lastly, there is a built-in spammer prevention so send out only 10 invitations at one point in time and then wait and manage those before sending out 10 more.

I’m sorry I misread that on the first go around. They do not need to register a blog. They only have to register a username account. The invitees who lack username accounts select the “username only” option here: https://signup.wordpress.com/signup/?user=1
