   How do I put passwords to the 35 users I choose when I make my blog privatemode?

   The blog I need help with is jcav.wordpress.com.

   You just give the users the option to view your blog when you make it private, but don't actually control the accounts themselves. Each user controls their own passwords. Ultimately, you are just giving the account the right to view your blog.

   Have ypu read through all the wordpress.com support documentation?

   The privacy options available are found here
   -> Dashboard -> Options -> Privacy
   Privacy Options
   Blog visibility: ____ I would like my blog to appear in search engines like Google and Sphere, and in public listings around WordPress.com.
   ____I would like to block search engines, but allow normal visitors
   _X__I would like my blog to be visible only to users I choose
   Up to 35 users allowed to access blog. Want more?
