Use KeystoneJS as a blog, but only part of the webapp

I've got a NodeJS + Angular + MySQL webapp. Is there a way I could use KeystoneJS for blog only?

I am currently serving some pages as static Express pages, and some as an Angular App with UI Router's HTML5 mode enabled.

    // Serves static pages generated by Express
    app.use('/staticPage', staticPage);
    app.use('/anotherStaticPage', anotherStaticPage);

    // Serves Angular App
    app.all('/*', function(req, res, next) {
        res.sendFile(__dirname + '/ui/index.html');
    });

    /*
      Need a way to also serve a blog powered by KeystonJS
      It should be accessed at /blog/:postTitle
    */

If possible, I prefer to keep my existing set-up and simply add Keystone on top of it.

There are two ways you can do so.

(1) install keystone, and inside keystones index router, add your two static routers and one app router too.

(2) Add keystone to existing Express App.

However irrespective of keystoneJS. you have to remove generic handler for angularApp.

app.all('/app/*', function(req, res, next) {...});

Or else new blog related router has to be added above Angular, as you are doing so far.
