Thank you for the information. I have another question for you. My blog is going to target seniors; a good portion of them use the computer but are not very computer literated and need simple. I had really wanted to keep the blog private, but have to ask; if I keep it public can they go to the page by entering the URL? It would work better for this group if they did not have to go back and forth to just to get in to enter their comments.

Private blog will always require users to sign up for a WordPress.com account. See this page:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/#viewing-a-private-blog

All viewers added to a private blog must have a WordPress.com account—this ensures that only those you’ve authorized to see your blog are the ones viewing it:

Here are the instructions for inviting viewers:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/adding-users/#invite-people-to-view-your-private-blog

peacockadmin, the checkmarks you are referring to in your post apply only to people commenting on your content, not to viewing a private blog.

screenfree, I don't think you were supposed to receive an email, only the user who was trying to register. Once they create their account, they should receive a confirmation email. Please let them know to check their spam folder in case the email got falsely caught in the spam filters. Once they click the confirmation link in that email, they will have access to your site. Please note that after confirming their account, the invitee will have to go back to the invitation e-mail and click on "Accept invitation" again!

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.

Hope that helps!

Have you thought of taking a laptop with internet access to a meeting and helping people signup for email alerts when a new Post is published?

Don't know if you would run into some spam filter issue or not with many signups from the same IP address. But I would try the laptop idea.

I am thinking of just subscribing them. Is there a way to do that, or do I need to send invitations?

You can't subscribe them. Your followers are the people who have signed up to receive updates each time you publish new content. They do not have any editing privileges. If your blog is public, anyone can follow it, but you may want to send out invitations to specific people who you’d like to share your blog with.

Note that followers do not need to be registered with WordPress.com. Anyone following your blog with an email address that’s not associated with a WordPress.com account will be sent details of how to confirm and manage the sites they’re following without needing to register at WordPress.com.
