I do not know the utility of merging a blog with a forum may there be a specific need for bloggers themselves or to provide courses or support questions if they have an IT and artificial intelligence blog for example. So we cannot judge this.

It can be a pain in the butt when it comes to plugins. I have tried it a few times and have had no success. Having a front-end forum is in some cases better with a backend blog from the forum. Other times it is better in the reverse. Most people do the latter.

I hated the options available to create a forum that was implemented within your WordPress site. I used to have a blog and I had to spend ages going through each addon because none of them were good enough. The worst thing is that some of the forum addons lack proper exporters.

bbPress and Buddypress plugins definitely works great which is developed by Wordpress. bbPress is simple and yet effective on any Wordpress website. Its absolutely free too. Buddypress themes are outstanding and its very quick and easy to add to your site.

If you don't mind me asking - why WordPress and not a forum software?. There's many software available ( phpBB, VBulletin, Invision PowerBoard ) who can help you to create forum and save a lots of times
