  I would like to have a bulletin board on my blog (in fact, I ONLY want a bulletin board). I’d like to upload this plug-in )http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-bulletin-board/installation/) to the page http://tandemplus.wordpress.com/. Can this be done? Do we need to move the page to wordpress.org to have a bulletin board? Or should we host the page ourselves? Please advise. Thanks.

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

  Thanks. So we can have wordpress.org host the site (not free) or we can host the site and use the WP plug-in … good to know.

  .org does not host sites.

  .org is a place to download the WP software to install on a site you have somewhere else and to provide support for such an installation.

  @tandemplus
  There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.cfom blogs and we blogger cannot install any individual plugins into them. There are no upgrades we can purchase that change that. But there are 3 alternatives for your use here on a free hosted WordPress.com blog that you may want to check out > http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/04/23/wordpress-com-forum-options/

  Thanks, timethief. The P2 theme looks like it might work for our purposes.
