    I send users an invitation to follow my private blog, they receive an email but when they click accept invitation or copy/paste the url to their browser they are taken to a screen that wants them to log in or create a word press account. How do they follow without creating an account?

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

    They have to create an account. They do not have to register a blog.

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

    The person being invited will have to register a username account, if they do not already have one, but they do not need to register a 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.
