Here we are… a new blog! Not quite my first attempt for a new blog and I don’t know exactly where I want to go with this. Just like with my previous attempts, a totally empty website feels quite intimidating indeed!
For now, suffice to say that this blog is rendered by WordPress. What you see is the result of your browser rendering HTML code with some CSS and embedded JavaScript. Your browser is running locally on your computer, phone or tablet.
All this was served by:
- NGINX, a web server that generated this code by executing a series of:
- Static PHP scripts that together implement this WordPress website. The scripts pulled the content of this blog from a:
- MariaDB database server that manages everything that I write, as well as a number of settings that control the formatting.
This web server with WordPress scripts as well as the database are hosted at a web hotel somewhere on the internet.
As an aside: I had played around with local WordPress installations, i.e. blogs that had the whole thing running on my own computer. One of the first things I want to figure out is how to copy a blog from a local installation to a hosted installation and vice versa.
But first I’ll take some time to dig deeper into how WordPress works. To be continued!
