 * Hi everyone,
 * I run a blog for a club over on wordpress.com ([http://sussexmuddyarse.wordpress.com/](http://sussexmuddyarse.wordpress.com/))
   but we are starting to find it a bit limiting in terms of flexibility.
 * Everythings a bit hectic right now so haven’t got time to look through the forums
   etc in depth but I need to give a yay or nay to someone who has offered us hosting
   for a wordpress.org based blog, so I apologise for asking the following questions
   which are probably on the site somewhere (looked for 20 minutes without any luck!)
 * How similar is the dashboard to wordpress.com? Does it still use authors/contributors
   etc so I can have different users adding content?
    Is there a plugin that provides
   a forum or discussion board? At the moment we have to link to an external site
   for our forum, which isn’t popular with our visitors.
 * And finally, anyone care to link me to their blogs? Just wondered what can be
   achieved when you are given free reign!
 * Thanks, hopefully I’ll become a regular on here soon.

 * I am a Sussex muddy arse myself. These are the sort of questions your developer
   should be helping you with. But yes you will be fine.
