Users not able to access password protected blog
-
I am trying to create a fairly big community of users for a private, password protected blog which I and one other person edit and to which there are supposed to be up to 100 contributors but I’m struggling to get everyone in.
I send them each an invite to join WordPress from the “Invite” page and tick the box “Add user to my blog as a contributor”. However, the majority of the users appear to be inadvertently creating their own blogs to which the browser defaults every time they log in OR it takes them to the WordPress front page.
I then started going to “Add User from the community” option under the “Authors and users” tab and enter their email addresses and that helped with some of them but not all.
In some cases I’ve tried to repeat the process afresh but it won’t let me uninvite them from the list on the “Invites” page because there’s no delete option where users already linked to a WordPress domain (the delete function does work if they haven’t yet taken up the invite)
What am I doing wrong? What is the best process of getting these people on this particular blog?

If people login at http://wordpress.com there will always be a link to the blogs they are part of. So maybe just telling them that is best?
If they have a blog but are part of your blog they can delete that blog if they wish and nothing bad will happen. Options > Delete is the place to go.
I would tell them to go to http://wordpress.com, register for an account. When they have that, they tell you the email they used and then you can add them on the Users page.
