Set up a forum or bulletin board for your blog readers to interact with you using Quick Topic's service. There are free and paid versions of this service. This tutorial is geared to help you set up a forum using the free version.
 

Here's How:
1. Go to http://www.quicktopic.com/.
2. Register by providing the following information: Your name, an active email address, a password, and a first topic for your forum.
3. Click on the 'Post a new message' button in order to replace the instructions with your own forum introduction.
4. Once you're finished writing your message, click on the 'Submit message' button. You'll be able to edit or delete your message anytime.
5. Click on the 'Subscribe' button in order to receive notifications whenever someone posts a message to your forum.
6. Invite readers by posting a link to your forum from your blog. You can always access the code to your forum when you click on either the 'Invite readers' and 'Link from your website' links in the Admin Tools area.
7. You can always add new topics later on when you click on the link 'New Topic'. Just review 'My Topics' to see the other topics that you've started.
 

Tips:
1. Click on 'More Admin Tools' to access other administrative functions of your forum such as changing of topic names, disallowing further posts, etc.
2. If you're not happy with the comment function of your weblog, you can always just use your Quick Topic forum as a way to encourage feedback from your blog readers.
3. Invite your contacts to participate in your forum by adding links to your Quick Time topics via email.
