Blog Tools for Web Design?

I am building a php and mysql website for a class, I plan on using this site in the future and want to go a little above and beyond and create a blog. I talked to a few IT guys the other day and they gave me the name of a few pieces of software that could fill my needs, but with finals and studying, I forgot what they were called.

The idea is that these tools allowed me to create the blog post, store the text in a database, store photographs in a folder on the web server, and I would be able to output both of these with the pictures throughout the text (basically already formatted how I like it). I need to just provide my code for the web page that surrounds the article/blog (blog contains just the text and pictures appropriately located)

Any ideas of free software that would allow me to do this would be appreciated

I will answer any questions if this is not clear
