  Dear Customer Support,

  I want to create a forum for my blog. The idea would be that I would write about some topic and my readers would have a discussion about it. For example, when my new book is published soon they might want to ask questions about something in the book. The way things are now, nobody ever comments on my blog. I want my readers to get involved with whatever subject I write about. How do I change my current blog to do that?

  Thank You
  Robert R. Smith

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

  We don’t have a specific forum feature on WordPress.com but you could just create a post and let visitors comment there.

  You can follow the steps in this guide on how to get more views and traffic: http://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-more-views-and-traffic/

  There are no restrictions if you setup a self-hosted WordPress.org blog instead of a WordPress.com blog, but there are some added responsibilities. We have hosting recommendations at the following link if you are interested.

  Please let us know if you need any further assistance!
