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

  Do be aware that in order for a forum to succeed you need a critical mass of people who will post and until you have regular commenters on the blog you may not have a large critical mass for a lively forum.
