  I have recently started blogging and have seen many blogs using WordPress featuring community forums, like those you can get at freeforums.org.

  My question: How do I put forums like these on my blog? Do I need to find a web host using WordPress.org, or does the free hosting at WordPress.com work?

  Sorry if I sound like a n00b, but all answers will be appreciated.

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

  You cannot have a forum directly on your blog here. You have to either use something like freeforums.org or host one on a web host somewhere and then link to if off of your blog here.
