  Hi. I’ve recently started a blog as you can see from its name above. The idea of this blog is to encourage people share their good news but i am unable to understand how can i configure my blog to be an open blog .. i mean where anybody and everybody could make, edit and post their own post..please advise..
  Thanks in advance..

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

  There is no such thing as an open blog that anyone can post to because that’s what a blog is. See here http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2011/06/13/whats-a-wiki/

  Think about this please because if anyone could post to a blog then every blog would be full of SPAM in seconds flat.

  However, if you want to have a blog and a forum then 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.
  a custom link to the forum in it.

  If you want to start a site like that, you are looking at A MINIMUM INVESTMENT OF TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS TO START. Plus several thousand per month in server and tech support costs.
