How can I integrate a forum with a website?

Tatsujin:
I remember asking the same question long ago. I didn't get much information. I can do an in-line frame with a small blog which is pretty easy, but not as sexy as the frontpage as Bakabt's.

If it were easy why would you need web developers...

The easy solution is CMS... Content management system as it name suggests where you can run a website, forum etc all from 1 place.
And you notice our blog is run separately...

Thanks for the replies  :)
How many different types of CMS are there? Which would be best for integration with wordpress or a wiki?
Any tips on where and how I can start learning about web-developing? I know a bit of extremely basic html.

Definitely start off by learning HTML and CSS. These are the two most important languages for any sort of web development work, they are not too hard to learn, and yet few people bother learning them right. If you want a good book about it, I recommend Visual Quickstart Guide to HTML, XHTML, and CSS by Liz Castro.
Beyond that, all CMS systems are built in some language (probably PHP, Perl, Python or JSP) so once you choose the CMS, learn the language that it was built in so you can tweak the functionality if needed.

Like I said it's not integrated with wiki and blog (Wordpress), those are run and installed separately... (Maybe there is some way, but none that I know of)
And most popular CMS are written in php, but you publish articles, news etc using basic html - and like kostya already mentioned start off with practicing html and css.
CMS comes with news, articles, forum, comments, download and user management... In fact have a look at PHP-Fusion or Joomla
If you need wordpress and wiki just set them into a separate web folder, and if possible add a subdomain which will lead to them.
