  I have created a private site with a view to using it for a training exercise (as the data is fictional I don’t want the material on the www). How many people can I add to view the site?
  The ‘Invite people’ section implies I can only add 10! Is this so? Or can I have an unlimited number of viewers?

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

  Hi @nicparham,
  There is no limit to how many users you can invite to your private blog. The 10 invitations are just the number of invitations you can send at the time.

  So send 10 invitations, wait for the invitees to register and then send out 10 more invitations. This is done to prevent spamming.

  You can read more about adding users to your site here:

  Hope this helps 🙂
