Actually right call is integrated with blog forum, but how in this article are not limited to blogs which can be integrated into any website forum, including simple HTML page!

How to create a forum for the blogs is not new , but the kind of forum that integrates not very professional. Here is targeting professional said one prominent as some kind forum itself is one particular application, as VBB, IPB, PHPBB, SMF, ... Among the types of applications such forum, we only consider Free ones only (for free can integrate that), and not the names prompted many as PHPBB, SMF, Vanilla, PunBB.What we talked about in this article is Vanilla . (If you do know how to integrate PHPBB, SMF, PunBB, ... then please share it). Vanilla itself can install on a host as 1 private forum . It is quite lightweight, more functional and more addons. Of course, compared with the giants PHPBB, SMF is not fair, but are generally used for one small community (such as the first forum for the great class if you have one of the class blog already). The difference is that it is kind of Vanilla interface "unfamiliar eye," as the type of forum VBB, PHPBB. You can see immediately the Demo of the Perplexed Forum to have originally envisioned. Vanilla is now allowing us to register 1 forum and integrate them into any blog or website with the copy and paste . Advantages the Vanilla forum integration may be mentioned:
