  Hi. I want to add a feature to my blog where people can write in with questions and get answers from me or the other readers. Can I do this? Is there a specific theme that supports this?

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

  . At present there are no chatboxes available, I am aware of, that can be used on free hosted WordPress.com blogs. There is no FTP access and we cannot install a chatboard, chatboxes or forum plugins for security reasons. http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/ They are only for WordPress.org installs and can’t be used on free hosted WordPress.com blogs. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  However, you have three free workaround forum options: http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/04/23/wordpress-com-forum-options/
