  Hi all and thanks always for the responses.
  Ok- have some guest writers set up- sent out the invites and they registered on wordpress.
  Whats the next step? where do they need to go to to access my blog backend and write a post?

  Do they need to log on to WP, find their own page, and access that way?

  Its probably so simple…

  Cheers

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You’re welcome. That should be enough to get them started.

  I would like to set the blog to be part of our web site. The blog could be a community section gathering web site’s members to interact here as a “contributor”. My questions regarding this are as followings:

  – Can I link the membership system with the blog?
  – Can all those new sign up web site members be blog contributors without having to re sign up as the other set of account?

  Thanks!

  When a contributor posts to your site they will automatically receive credit for it….at least in my case? also, if you have added contributors to your site…. when you post, before you publish if you scroll down it will give you the option to “post as”
