  There is no forum that you can embed into a free hosted WordPress.com blog. There is not DTP access and we cannot install plugins on free hosted WordPress.com blogs.You have two 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.

  Edits:
  DTP was meant to be FTP
  numbers – two was meant to be three (3)

  Those are the only choices you have on a free hosted WordPress.com blog and you’re welcome.
