Forgive if I am not posting properly, as I am sending this from my mobile. I also recommend Wordpress, especially if your site is already built in php/mysql. How deeply you want to integrate is up to you, but an easy way to go is to have the root of the wordpress app begin in yourdomain.com/blog/ with a matching footer/header for the site.
Omniture's blogs are a great example of theme/design integration. Remember that your users don't care if they are on "the blog" or not, but I recommend you make sure the user-experience is consistent enough that they're not lost, or have to learn a new set of menus/navigation. (Full disclosure: I work for Omniture) Snappconnor.com is a site I built to run completely on wordpress as a CMS, like @joseph said. My only other advice--if you can, build on your own domain, using a subfolder off the root. Any other configuration loses all your company's current pagerank and search-engine "cred"... This is over-simplifying, but even this one step will do a lot for incremental site traffic to your website.
