I have a website that was built about 4 years ago as an information site. It was originally to be edited using Contribute. Well needless to say it has sat there untouched for 4 years. I would love to integrate Wordpress/Wordpress Mu as an easier way to get content and interaction on the site.

Currently the site has 8 pages set up to provide info on 8 specific topics. I would like to set up a WP blog on each of the 8 pages without editing the design or layouts. Is it possible to confine the blog info to the center column designated for content or would I have to redo the layouts for each page? Basically I just want the center column to show the wordpress blog content and comments area. Not only is it possible, but how do I do it if it is possible? The current site is a simple PHP site. Please help me bring life back to this poor neglected site.

Use categories instead of separate blogs. You would have to integrate WordPress into the existing template using WP's templating engine. Follow a tutorial and use the default theme as a guide.
