  Is there a way to create a discussion forum on my blog that I share with a group of bloggers? I want the discussion to be visible only to group members, while still allowing anyone to comment on our posts.

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

  The closest thing we have to an in-house discussion forum is by using the P2 theme. If you don’t want to replace your current theme, you can add a second site to your account to link to it. Otherwise there are 3rd party forums that are hosted elsewhere that will allow you to set up a forum, which you can link to from your existing site. You can search for previous forum discussions on this topic by clicking the tags I’ve added in the sidebar here.

  Not really possible. If you set up a site to be visible only to group members, then that is who will be able to comment. There’s no way to keep the discussion hidden and still allow others to comment on it.
