Blog farms

Greetings:

 

I'm intrigued by the recent posts about wiki farms.  I've
been asked to
help set up a blog for a project/grant that involves our
library and the
local public library.  I haven't found anything that will do
exactly
what they'd like:  to provide for discussions on each
chapter of
selected books.  

 

Does anyone have experience/suggestions for a free blog we
could join,
and have that much capability?

 

Many thanks.

You may do better with a discussion forum or bulletin board
or even a
chat system.  Blogs, even with the comments function, are a
bit clunky
for true discussions.
