What is the best method for adding a blog to my existing website?

I am an expert in HTML and CSS, and am currently studying MYSQL and PHP in college. I want to add a blog to my website, but I'm not sure what the best method is for doing that. If it's possible to program a blog with PHP, I haven't gotten that far yet. I've heard a lot about WordPress and Blogger, but I want to integrate the blog with my site to facilitate SEO. I don't want to go through the process of trying to learn one method if it sucks compared to another. Thank you.
