WordPress.com is an easy way to start blogging. Get a blog, check out our features, read the latest announcements, choose from great themes, or learn about the team behind it.
Need help? Check out our Support site, then
I have 10 family members and want a site where these members can post comments, news, and photographs to share with the other family members. I want to control access to the site to specific users and decide when to add specific members.
Also, when someone posts on the site, I would like for members to receive an email.
Is WordPress appropriate for this?
The blog I need help with is phplutes.wordpress.com.
Very appropriate here (and still free)
Set the blog to Private
Dashboard >> Settings >> Read >> only those I choose
Then you invite only those you want to view the blog - they will need their own account here but not a blog -
You can also add people as Contributor - that means they can write a Post but the Admin needs to approve the Post before it is published - then once published they can't change the Post
PS - yes members can receive an email when a Post is published - but they must subscribe to the blog to get the email (you will need to put the subscribe Widget in the Sidebar)
Set the email content to summery
Dashboard >> Settings >> Read >> For each article in a feed, show
That has only the first 75 words of a Post show in the email so they need to visit the blog to see the whole Post
