I'm looking for a system to run a blog with comments. Is CMS for me?

Hi.
I'm looking for a way to build a dynamic blog/news section that has an easy interface like this one, and that allows comments for each entry.
Once it's built, I'd like to be able to add that to my existing XHTML site. I currently do it with PHP includes that pull data from a MySQL database, and that works fine, but I don't have a comments-per-entry feature figured out, so it's just my news posts.
I could put up with dumping my XHTML code into a CMS template along with the code that fetches the database info, but I don't want to convert my whole site into modules and such. I like hand-coding my pages. I just want a blog-with-comments feature running in the background somewhere that I can pull into my page with a few lines of code and style the way I want.
So is CMS Made Simple for me? If so, any tips on how to do that?
Thanks a lot.
