But I've run into a little problem: if I have a userid that is not linked to a blog, how do I change its password? It doesn't seem like I can get to the proper screen without having a blog.

You could as you've seen make the blog private and then just add the users who you want to see the blog.

Achieves the same thing in a different way. It means that the users will have to sign up for an account (not a blog!) and then add them.

There is a rumour floating around that the 5 user limit may be lifted or raised sometime in the future. We have no details of when though.

HTH.

Can I do the same for an entire blog?

I did notice that I can limit access to my blog to five other WordPress users...but that's not what I'm talking about. I'd like to have my blog password-protected, which would facilitate e-mailing the password to someone that I want to view my blog.

Thanks.
