  How can I add a forum where my audience can ask each other questions and chat with each other?
  I want a forum wherein there isn’t advertising from another site and as far as possible a free forum
  Thanks
  Brandon

  Hi Brandon,

  We don’t currently offer the ability to create forums here at WordPress.com.

  You might consider hosting a bbPress installation elsewhere, and linking to it from your WordPress.com blog:
  http://bbpress.org/

  If you need assistance with setting up bbPress, check out the forums here:
  http://bbpress.org/forums/

  Alternatively, you can always create a new page on your WordPress site and leave the “Comments” form open. This will allow users to comment on this particular page, which you can title “Forum” or “Discussion.”

  Hi evarlese
  I considered doing the latter i.e the comments page then thought that it wouldn’t be professional :-)
  Thanks for the links, if I don’t like the way those work then I’ll stick to the comments forum duo :-)
  Thank you
  Brandon
