  I have a blog where I write and post poetry. One of my readers left a comment asking about having a discussion forum as part of my blog. I was wondering if there is a way to set this up? If so, how? I think some of my readers would really like to be able to discuss what I write with me and others without leaving endless comments in the comment sections. Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

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

  WordPress.com doesn’t host forums, but if you start one on another site, you can link to it off your WordPress.com site.
