[Solved] Total Newbie Question: Flash Video, Blogs, and Forums

I am trying to find a CMS that will allow me to post flash video, has a nice blog element, and forum.  So far, no one is winning the contest...

I have looked around here, but am not readily seeing what I need.  I wonder if anyone can answer my question? 

And, if I can post the flash videos, how do I go about it?

Thanks for your time!!

CMSMS can work as a blog in a pinch IMHO :-X (see http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/projects/blogms/ ), but if you want to blog 100%, then you should treat yourself to something designed for a blog from the ground up.

Without showing favoritism, I would suggest you start here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog_software

If you do not currently have a blog, start out slow with free hosting like Blogger or WordPress.  You can be posting as fast as you can create an account.  Having a blog for a while will help you better understand your needs.

Also ask friends what they use, I had a friend inspire me to start MultiMonitor.net and so I chose to use what he uses so I would have someone to lean on for support, and share tips with.

Another tip is to choose something with a active community coding plugins so when you make the jump to use their product, you can rest assured there will be plugins popping up from time to time that could be useful.
