Answer 1

I don'y know if any free service offer both blog and forum tools or not. However ff you’re going to create a forum/blog site at your own domain without any forced ads, you need a web host providing forum/blog tools.One of these services is reachable at: http://bluehost-service.atspace.com . Their service is really great and easy to use. But please take into consideration that it costs $6.95/month.

Outside of the great answers already here...

My answer would be none.

Forums are an incredible amount or work. Very few actually build a community. Until you do, you will be the moderator for everything.

Many posts will be spam. Then you have to block their use. Then you will have people who have problems with other people.

Keep with your blog. If you are getting tons of traffic, 70 or more posts a day, go for it. if only two or three a week, how will you get them to the forum?

Otherwise you will need to thrive on rejection and love disappointment.

This is not meant to discourage you. It is only a reality check.

I am a moderator of a forum that is getting about 4-5 people a day signing up to the already 1000 there.

But then the forum has been around for over a decade. And the owner is still working 18 hour days.

And finally, if your asking what to do, then this is not for you...

Best wishes on what ever you decide.

Answer 4

You cannot put forum into your blogger account. Blogger is for creating blogs for free. If you want your forums hosted, then you need either a paid webhost having database support. Or with a site which provides you free website hosting wth database support. See this

There is one more choice. There are sites which allows forums to be created by few clicks. So called forum hosters they will create forums for you and host at their sites. But you won't have any control of your forum. For ex backup. themes etc
