Your indenting is/might-be misleading. Are you intending to
encapsulate the PHP regex inside the /blog prefix, as your indenting
suggests? 'Cos your braces aren't doing that.

In general, each request is handled in one location and one location
*only* in nginx. There are some directives which inherit down config
levels (http{}, server{}, location{}, nested location {}) but they're
not the ones you'll (probably) be caring about here.

If you can, pop your blog on its own FQDN so you can seperate out
traffic into different server{} stanzas. That works well as a base
level of distinction between traffic which should hit PHP and that
which shouldn't.

Apologies - I assumed from the config you posted you'd not done any reading :-)

Nothing you've posted yet specifies the method you're using to talk to
your PHP-executing process. Perhaps you should post a more complete
config and let us know what you've tried already ...
