Also I would love to link up phpBB to the blog if possible for the comments or something along that line also.

Thanks..

The b2evolution website you see right now, is infact running b2evolution. Good example? ;)

Could I make a left hand side navagation that shows the different blogs that I need on the left hand side possibly?

It's called a blog list, here is the code that is used for my site.

global $blog, $display_blog_list;

if( ! $display_blog_list )
{
	echo 'Blog Listing is disabled.';
}else{

# this is what will start and end your blog links
if(!isset($blog_list_start)) $blog_list_start = '<ul>';
if(!isset($blog_list_end)) $blog_list_end = '</ul>';
# this is what will separate your blog links
if(!isset($blog_item_start)) $blog_item_start = '<li>»&nbsp;';
if(!isset($blog_item_end)) $blog_item_end = '</li>';
# This is the class of for the selected blog link:
if(!isset($blog_selected_link_class)) $blog_selected_link_class = '';
# This is the class of for the other blog links:
if(!isset($blog_other_link_class)) $blog_other_link_class = '';
# This is additionnal markup before and after the selected blog name
if(!isset($blog_selected_name_before)) $blog_selected_name_before = '<em>';
if(!isset($blog_selected_name_after)) $blog_selected_name_after = '</em>';
# This is additionnal markup before and after the other blog names
if(!isset($blog_other_name_before)) $blog_other_name_before = '';
if(!isset($blog_other_name_after)) $blog_other_name_after = '';
# This is the blogparam that will be displayed as the name:
if(!isset($blog_name_param)) $blog_name_param = 'name';//'shortname';
# This is the blogparam that will be displayed as the link title:
if(!isset($blog_title_param)) $blog_title_param = 'shortdesc';//'name';


echo $blog_list_start;
for( $curr_blog_ID = blog_list_start();
			$curr_blog_ID != false;
			 $curr_blog_ID = blog_list_next() )
{
	if( !blog_list_iteminfo( 'in_bloglist', false ) )
	{ // don't show
		continue;
	}
	echo $blog_item_start;
	if( $curr_blog_ID == $blog )
	{ // This is the blog being displayed on this page:
		echo '<a href="';
		blog_list_iteminfo('blogurl', 'raw');
		echo '" class="', $blog_selected_link_class, '" title="';
		blog_list_iteminfo($blog_title_param, 'htmlattr');
		echo '">';
		echo $blog_selected_name_before;
		blog_list_iteminfo($blog_name_param, 'htmlbody');
		echo $blog_selected_name_after;
		echo '</a>';
	}
	else
	{ // This is another blog:
		echo '<a href="';
		blog_list_iteminfo('blogurl', 'raw');
		echo '" class="', $blog_other_link_class, '" title="';
		blog_list_iteminfo($blog_title_param, 'htmlattr');
		echo '">';
		echo $blog_other_name_before;
		blog_list_iteminfo($blog_name_param, 'htmlbody');
		echo $blog_other_name_after;
		echo '</a>';
	} // End of testing which blog is being displayed
	echo $blog_item_end;
}
echo $blog_list_end;

}
