    Install WP in the /blog/ directory. That it.
    e.g. example.com/blog/

    There are alternate solutions, depending what is at the root directory of your domain.
    So, what is at example.com?

      I'm assuming this is your own site. If you have cpanel, go to Fantastico and click on Wordpress.

      Ask it to do a new install and then where it says "install in directory" type "blog". This will set up a the sub-directory "blog".

      That's it - the installation should be done for you. Choose your username and password and make sure you include a real email address in case you forget your password.

      Then you can log into your admin area (mysite.com/blog/wp-admin) and start blogging.

      There is another way. Just install Wordpress in the top level domain (mysite.com) and use a mixture of posts (for the blog big) and pages. How much content do you already have on the site? You can set a static homepage and then put your blog on a page called "blog" - which will then appear in the menubar as - surprise - "blog"

    The next thing you wanna do after installing wordpress is to find a theme that you like and install it, unless you're happy to stick with the default wordpress look and feel. There's a lot of high quality wordpress themes around, just search for them on google.
