  I am making a fan website. The level of technical knowledge I need to accomplish things as I go along is changing. If I look here:

  https://developer.wordpress.com/

  There is REST oriented documentation I can consume with my node/python/java hat on.

  If I look here:

  https://codex.wordpress.org

  There are descriptions of PHP stuff, files and directories.

  Do these two things meet somewhere?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  hi,

  It depends on the design of your website.
  Here is one possible design:

  1. Use the WordPress site as a CMS (Content Management Site) – Publisher
  2. Use your Python/Node/Java as the Consumer

  Consumer consumes via REST api from Publisher.
