How to share user login and passwords between blog, forum and Dreamweaver?

I have a site created with Dreamweaver. I want to allow
visitors to create a username and password which will allow them to
post blog feedback to many pages on my site, post in a forum, and
provide their own comments into a database I can show the results
for on certain pages. The trick is I want this to all work with one
username and password so they don't have to use 3 different logins.
I'm not sure if this is too technical, but I thought I'd ask before
getting into it and realizing it won't work or I don't have a clue
what I'm doing.
I want to allow blog data to be added to a page with CSS
content by both admin and visitors (to create an active discussion
based on the data on that page). I've seen it on some sites, but
don't know how to do it myself:

I can see they are using Weblogs Inc. software, but it
appears the company only collaborates with people they see a fit
with.
I also want a forum and I know phpp is recommended. I like
the interface, but am unsure if the login data can be shared with a
blog.
Lastly, I wanted to allow users to write their own reviews
and then show the results and average them for display on the site.
I have read and know how to create the database for the site. I
just don't know how to share the usernames and password information
with the blog and forum.
Also, how do I force Dreamweaver to validate that the
usernames and passwords are exactly correct before letting people
post under that identity?
I'm loving Dreamweaver and making sites so far. Just trying
to take it to the next level.
Thanks very much!

What you want is a CMS, but your not going to get one for
Dreamweaver,
well, not the kind you want. Something like Joomla can do
this, you can
add phpBB3 to it, and then using the JFusion extension allow
them to
share the user database, but I warn you now, its a steep
learning curve.
I ended up buying a book just to get to grips with the key
concepts.
