The suggested config of adding a variable is over complicated and very
little Nginxy. That's seems like a throwback to Apache's style IMO.

Valentin's suggestion with blogname being a capture in a regex based
(nested) location is a much cleaner way. It's also informative in the
way Nginx configuration language works. It's mostly declarative.

Try it out.

As it turns out, the issue was a missing document root (since I
previously only used that server section to redirect to www) Added the
root and it worked fine.

As for the variable in the location, I did not write that. It was
suggested to me in the thread:
