  Hi, I want to enable my clients to be able to add their experience with my help. If I do it through a page, they can only add as a comment and no photo. I’d like it to be like a forum. Can anyone help me with this?
  Thanks a lot

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

  You cannot embed a forum into a free hosted WordPress.com blog. You can register one on the internet and then create a custom menu and include a custom link to the forum in your custom menu.

  Thanks for your answer, does that mean that there no way to do it inside the blog, as an ‘open’ page to all who wishes to write in their experience?

  Blogs are for interactive discussion that takes place via comments. If you wish to add official users to your blog then see the user roles you can assign and see also the instructions for adding users.

  Also note that as you are the Admin of the blog anyone can submit a comment containing an image and you can moderate the comment and post it for them.

  If you wish you can register another free hosted WordPress.com blog and use the P2 theme. It’s for Twitter-like conversations. Then you can create a custom menu in your main blog and include a custom link to the second P2 blog in your custom menu.

  When it comes to posting testimonies I would not do any of those. I would have the people email me their text and image. I would then create a static page and on that static page I would post the images and text I received.

  P2 is a group blog theme for short update messages, inspired by Twitter.

  Thanks very much for your help. I see that the best options is to have them mailed in and them post them myself. Thats what I’ll do.
  Thank again

  I think that’s best too but I did not want to impost my choice on you so I provided all of the choices. Best wishes with your blog. :)

  You can edit your readers’ comments so that their pictures will appear: change their links to images yourself.

  As the administrator of your blog, you can post images in your own comments, and (via an edit) into your commenters’ responses.

  (Make a note about your edit of the comment so images appear so as not to confuse people.)
