  I want to put a discussion forum on my blog so that my readers can ask questions and talk to each other if they need to or want to. But the only discussion forum thing I can find involves me using a program that I’d have to pay for just to open and download it. Is there any other way for me to get the discussion forum for my page??

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

  There is no forum that you can embed into a free hosted WordPress.com blog. There is no FTP access and we cannot install plugins on free hosted WordPress.com blogs.You have three options:

  (1) Use the P2 theme which is a Twitter-like theme on your current blog.
  http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/p2/

  (2) Create another blog and use the P2 theme on it and then create a custom menu on your main blog and include a custom link to the second blog in it.

  (2) Register a forum on the internet and then create a custom menu in your blog and include a custom link to the forum in it.
