How to create a Discussion Channel on Disqus?

Having a discussion channel, group or forum is really amazing. Every day many bloggers falling in different problem and due to lack of proper guidelines they aren’t solving their different blogging related issues.  You can say there are different forum out there for discussing but what about your own Blog subscriber? Those who are your loyal readers they might not search any other sources for solutions. On the other hand, while we do blog then same question ask by different readers and this is sometimes annoying or we don’t have time to reply. In this case if we have own forum then we can share the ideas and gather knowledge form other members. As a result we can solve various issues.
