Blogging and Forum software solutions

[SoundTheSurrender]

Hi, I'm looking for a package or a guide on how to implement a forum with a blog. Any free solutions out there?

Thanks

So um, that's nice but you just showed me 2 separate sites.

You want something that has a blog and forum combined?

well, if there is yes, but if not, I'd like a link to show how with good software.

So far I have found this.

If it were me, and I wanted a simple solution...

I would use SMF with the TinyPortal package installed. Then, you can set one of your forums to automatically post to the front page. Technically, the whole page would be a forum, but the front page could appear as a blog. You would set the permissions for that forum so that only you could post to it, but that others could reply if you want them to be able comment on your blogs. That way, you really only need to run and keep up with a single application.
