I'd like to start a web site that contains Moveable Type-style articles (� la MacThemes) that at the end contain links, rather than to that awful popup comment box, to forum threads about that particular entry (� la MacBytes).

What are my options as far as this is concerned? Any thoughts and recommendations would be appreciated.
Hi. Nice to see you. You look lovely.

Perhaps I should clarify my question.

Basically, I want to set up a web site with two parts: a news items page and a forum. I would like the news items automatically to be given and to link to threads within the forums for commentary on the items.

Eventually, things like a calendar &c might be added to it, so all things being equal, the more long-term flexibility, the better.

Hey there,
What about runnning vBulletin (which is the same forum package that Macnn uses, and others), and then install a CMS/home page module on top of that that, which gives you home-page news items that link to their own forum threads. A popular, capable front-end for vBulletin would be at www.vbadvanced.com. There are other options as well, like vbindex.
