How to Add Forum or Discussion Board to Your Blogger/Blogspot Blog


The question whether it is possible to add a forum to a Blogger blog has been of interest to many bloggers and in most cases,  their response is that it is not possible. After a lot of thorough research, I found out that it is possible to add a forum or discussion board to a Blogger blog by the use of a third party help.  This forum will be real and have the features of other discussion boards.



As I was writing this post, I paused to create a forum titled Naija family board. You can click here to view it. It took me less than five minutes to create the forum and sub-forums. Does it not look professional? That's what I am talking about.

Without wasting your time, these are the steps you need to add a forum or discussion board to your Blogger blog:

  • Go to  http://n3.nabble.com/free-forum.html and register by filling the form provided. Your forum will be created immediately and an activation link will be sent to your e mail inbox.
  • Click this link to activate your account and be able to use other features.
  • Click on go to the next message and copy the code under embed this forum.
  • Go to your Blogger dashboard and create a new page for the forum. Paste the HTML code from Nabble in the Edit HTML mode section NOT in the compose mode.
  • Publish the page and view it. Your forum is ready.
  • Go back to nabble and log in with your e mail and password to restructure your forum.
That's all. Please use the comment box to tell me whether it worked for you or not.
