Blogs don't lend themselves to that very well but I suppose it can be done if there is enough traffic and you have visitors that engage each other in the comment area. Community Management Software (CMS) like the following link might be a better fit : http://www.nuke-evolution.com/index.php It has a forum integrated into the blog as well as an eCommence engine. These are usually set up for a site that distributes something electronically, needs a community forum, and has a blog type front page. You can simulate this with using a blogging package like Wordpress, Blogger etc. then set up a separate forum and put links between the too applications on your site. For instance our DOWNLOADS link at the upper right margin does this but links to a full blown CMS.... it could just as easily have been only a forum. I will caution you that it takes really specific content like a niche to generate enough interest. The users need a strong common bond like a hobby or something that they all relate to as a sub culture for it to really take off with alot of discussion.

Off-topic: I still have to figure out what to put on the front page of the new blog. I want to keep it clean, but I have to get people who land there to explore the archives, and find some way of getting my visitors talking to each other.

One doens't have to waste time surfing through sites to build up credits. A panacea it's not and the jury is still out on it but it was a novel approach and low maintenance way for some folks to get traffic to a new site. Finding like minded blogs is a good thing as well just as you mention. The price is good. 0 $ . We'll see. If you see it gone in a few months you will know it was not worth the space on our site.

It's main use on the blogger blog for me was in helping me find like-minded blogs. I didn't get much traffic at all from it.
