Sure, you just need to edit a blog skin to use the same design/CSS than your existing site.

Does that answer your question?

I was more interested in just targeting the blog php of this script. But yes I understand how to do that. I just dont want my whole site based in the cms.

Some companies do that, they make a simple static 4-5 page website, and install a blog at website.com/blog or blog.website.com seperate from the main site.
I really didnt get what the question is but you can do whatever you want ie, integrate it in your website, run it seperately, transfer your content into the blog and design your skin accordingly etc.

b2evolution works much better when it has control of the <head> section of your blog pages.

So, you *could* copy/paste the code from blog1.php into your page and then edit the blog skin to remove the duplicate header & footer.

But, I would NOT recommend that because this would be super messy with headers, javascript and CSS includes that b2evolution will expect to have available by default. Not to mention correctly setting the <title> tag. So it would actually involve quite a lot of additional editing.

The easiest way would be to use a b2eo skin and customize it to your design by including your CSS and including your site header/navigation as well as site footer.... So basically what I'm recommending is to add everything around your <section> into a skin rather than trying to do the reverse.
