  How do I go about setting up a forum on my site? I want to use my wordpress.com blog as a self-help for my main site but don’t see any theme or widget, etc. to set it up this way. How do I do this? I would think since wordpress.com uses a help forum, the same feature would be available to end users.

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

  You can´t.
  But you can use Tlk.io Widget to embed a “web chat” in your site.

  For your WordPress.COM blog you have three free workaround forum options: http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/04/23/wordpress-com-forum-options/
  One approach is to 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.
