I'm looking to use some proper tools for blogging and have done some searching around - came across B2, B2 evolution and Wordpress (I'm interested since they're free). I'm not interested in the Blogspot/Blogger type blogging sites...

Any one has any tutorials on using these tools?

What do you mean tutorials? You install, login, and write your entries :?:

I mean how to integrate it into my site. I already have a working site - I want to keep the layout.

B2 and Wordpress (same thing) have their look crammed into their files. So if you want to edit the look of it, you need to work around the PHP in the files. Plog actually has a template engine, so if your not confortable hacking around PHP code then you'll probably want to use that.

Uhhh WordPress is damn easy to put into your design. Just put the little <?php bloginfo('name') ?> and all that into the layout you've already made with
[code:1:537fcf287c]<?php
/* Don't remove these lines. */
$blog = 1;
require('wp-blog-header.php');
// Uncomment the next line if you want to track blog updates from weblogs.com
//include_once(ABSPATH.WPINC.'/links-update-xml.php');
?>[/code:1:537fcf287c] at the top of the page, and you're set.

It only took me like 20 minutes to have http://www.webmasterarticle.com/tntcheats/ up and running. (Including installation, template editing and tweaking)
