Understand that a blog is nothing more than a list of posts/entries. Simplest case is have one php script that just dumps the entries from the SQL database on to a page (you can improve up on that with things like pages, tags, trackbacks, etc) but those are all extras.
Comments are just entries, except they have a extra field that specify which post/entry they belong to.
Posts and Comments, the only two things required for a blog. Now just improve upon that.
Do a few PHP/MySQL tutorials and you should be able to do this pretty easily.
And this can be done very short too... mine is 1700 lines (that includes whitespace and comments) running janitha.com right now
