  I know other people can reply and make comments to your blog entries in WordPress, but can they initiate topics/blog entries and if so how? (I’m very new to WordPress). Thanks.

  If you have specific people in mind you can make them users of your blog and assign them specific roles

  If you want something where all your readers can start new topics, you want either a forum or a wiki instead of a blog. Blogs are built around the central personalities of one or more people, they’re not communities per se.
