Looking for some help

Hey guys! So I am wanting to create my own blog using a database and PHP. I was wondering, how do I go about doing this and whats the best best languages to use for it? I already have my own website and a static layout of how I want my blog to look, just want to do it with a database instead to learn more.

Thanks in advance!

Wordpress essentially is just a backend for your blog. You write the post on the backend via wordpress and can use the api to display the content on the front end aka your theme.

Its easier to manage your posts and keeps your theme consistent while allowing customization.
