For example - I have a website with an attached blog. I post contents in the blog(A). And I have a personal blog(B). I can alter only the body tags.
Is there a tag where I can mention A as my information source?

If quoting
If you quote the content, you could use the blockquote element and its cite attribute:
[…] address […] may be cited in the
citeattribute.
But if you don’t quote the content, you can’t use that.
If not quoting
By using the bookmark link type, you could convey that the permalink of the post is the one from the source blog. For that to work the post must be in an article element, or in the body (not within any other sectioning element).
While the canonical link type can also be used on a elements (so you could specify it in the body), it’s only appropriate to use it if you don’t allow comments for the blog posts. Otherwise (as soon as you get a comment for one post, and not the very same for your other post, too) the content is no longer the same or a superset of the other one, which means that canonical must not be used.
