How to add Discussion Forum in Blogger or in Your Website

                In this post, we will see, How to add Discussion Forum in Blogger or in Your Website.
                Discussion forum helps to have interaction among readers/viewers of our website or blog. We can add it to our website/blog with free of cost. We should be thankful to Google as it has provided this feature. I have created such discussion forums for my website. Check following links:

2. Get Sign In to your Google account. 

3. Click on button "CREATE GROUP".
