Our group has realized how important it is for medical support groups to provide ways for people to connect with other people who are in similar situations. In addition to having a chat feature, an excellent way to do this on a blog is by having a discussion board. This allows for people to talk and connect even if they are online at different times. It also tracks the conversations, so someone later can see what has been said and join in the conversation. In researching how to add a discussion board, I found a blog called bloggersentral.com and it had a great post on how to add a discussion board to a blog. Here is how you do it and you can do it in less than 5 minutes.
Create a Forum
1. Go to Nabble.com.
2. Click on "Start A Free Forum"
3. Create an account, enter your forum name, and it will create your forum.
4. That was easy enough. Now you have your forum and you just need to add it to your blog.
Add Your Forum To Your Blog
1. When your forum opens up, click on "Embedding Options" in the top right-hand corner.
2. Copy and paste the HTML onto a new page on your blog and you are all ready to go!
Check out the discussion board that I added to my blog and I also added it to our group blog.
