   I want people to be able to join my website, will I need a certain template that's formatted for it or does it come standard with self hosted wordpress sites? Also, does anyone know of any free templates with a forum page or who can I pay to build one on my site?

   Paste the following code somewhere on your index.php file using the theme editor:

   <?php global $user_ID, $user_identity, $user_level ?>
   <?php if ( !$user_ID ) : ?>
   <a href="http://www.YourSite.com/wp-login.php">Log in</a> | <a href="http://www.YourSite.com/wp-login.php?action=register">Register</a>
   <?php else : ?>
   Welcome <strong><?php echo $user_identity ?></strong> |
   <a href='<a href='<?php echo wp_logout_url(); ?>&redirect_to=/'>Logout</a>
   <?php endif; ?>

   The above code will show two text links:

   Log In | Register

   After logging in the page will show this message:

   Welcome NAMEOFUSER | Log Out

   As for a forum, you can use a forum plugin or something more advance like PHBB forum. If you don't know how to do this or the above, then just pay a freelancer to do it. [email moderated]

   You can use the Meta Widget to give users a link to login or register.

   Look at http://simplepressforum.com/ for forum software.
