What browser and version are you using?

Bit of a nuisance. Can the permission be reinstated please?

There is also a paid transfer for about $100 where staff takes care of all of it, but it's really not hard to do yourself.

Details are in the Support docs. http://en.support.wordpress.com/

I have a follow-up question (or three). Can I convert a WordPress.com blog to a WordPress.org blog? If so, is there a cost involved and can you point me toward instructions on how to do so?

The only thing I've thought up on my own is to create a separate account for myself, grant it permissions, and use that one. However, that would require setting up a whole new wordpress account, blog and all, and I don't want to create another account/blog to just sit there and not do anything.

This is probably your best bet if you'd like to continue using WordPress.com.

Unfortunately, this sort of functionality will require a plugin, which WordPress.com does not support. If you setup a WordPress.org blog, you can use a plugin like this to accomplish what you're after.

Let me know if I can be of any further help.

Best,
P.

If I put things up (as far as I can tell, even if I post a downloadable document), my name appears on it. Can I suppress this? If not, can I somehow put another name on these uniformly (e.g. "Contributor) or individually (e.g. "Artie M. Author")? I'd also like to be able to post under my real name and pen name separately without creating a separate account, so this isn't just a multi-author issue.

I'm using Titan, and I have set it up with the "Authors" widget so that visitors can easily find content (such as book reviews) by my band of regular contributors. I'd like to keep this functionality. I am open to using another theme (although Titan is working very well for what I want visually)

The site I want to do this with is private right now (under development). My "regular" blog is shannonhowell.wordpress.com, if that is at all useful. I am using wordpress.com, not .org. If this would be only be possible using .org, please let me know :)

Any thoughts/help would be warmly welcome!

Important: Please be careful of the roles you give users on your blog. If you add a user as an administrator, you are granting full ownership rights to him/her. This means that if he/she deletes the blog and/or its content, there is no wrongdoing. For this reason, we recommend having only one administrator per blog. Also note that all user roles provide access to a site’s stats. http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/

Today, I wrote a post and noticed before I published it that in the "publicize" box at the right of the "new post" screen there was a hyperlink that read "Authorize Connection with Facebook." I clicked the link and a new window popped up asking if it was okay to navigate away from the current page. I hadn't saved a draft of the post, so I clicked cancel and saved a draft. Then I clicked the "authorize" link again, and this time I was taken to a new screen (with no warning popup first) that said I wasn't authorized to do what I was trying to do so I should get my administrator to invite me. But I am the administrator! So then I decided to publish the post anyway (without the Facebook connection), and when I clicked on "Publish" the same thing happened, which is when I came here to write this.

Just now I checked the post, however, and it's been published (although not on my Facebook account).

Any idea what's going on and/or how I can fix it?

Thanks!

I have completely emptied your subscriber list, so they won't be receiving anything else.

"Anyone who has subscribed by RSS feed will not receive notice of new posts, nor will new posts be pinged by WordPress.com to the various etc."

If it is true that they will NOT receive notice of new posts (and I'm not saying it isn't true) then why do I keep getting a notification saying that they are?

This is why I keep saying -- something's not right. It appears to be a glitch. I will be thankful to know that they're not receiving my privatized posts, but I will be more thankful when I don't have to read that they are.

Of course, that second point of gratitude is secondary. As long as they're not reading it, I'm mostly satisfied -- even though WordPress tells me they're reading it every time I post.

Also glad it's been flagged for staff attention. Thank you.

Every time I post, I am still getting a notification that the "subscribers" are receiving my posts in their Inboxes, even though I have privatized the blog. These same subscribers will NOT be able to see my blog by clicking on a url.

This is why I wrote, above: "I decided to restrict the permissions on my blog so that it will now be read only be people whom I know and trust."

Is it actually the case that someone whom I have not specifically invited to read my private blog is reading it simply because he happened to subsribe BEFORE I privatized it?

That's the indication I get from the WordPress notification. If so, this isn't right, and I need to remedy the situation.

I have requested of him that he unsubscribe, but he has not done so. Again, this IS NO LONGER A PUBLIC BLOG.

Thanks.
