Providing a Forum on my WordPress Blog
-
Can you please help with the following questions?
1. I have a WordPress.com blog but I want to have a forum on the blog. Is this possible?
2. If I need to migrate to WordPress.org in order to have a forum should I already have a hosted domain?
3. Does WordPress provide hosting at WordPress.org?
