OK, I appreciate all your help. It seems I've messed things up even more now. While attempting to translate what you folks provided, I've now got a configuration that doesn't work right even with standard wordpress links. If I try to go to the default URL for the blog, I end up getting a download of the php instead of the page displaying (however, some other wordpress URLS work?). I'm really not getting nginx. Can someone perhaps point out what it is that I'm not getting. Taking this project over cold with no nginx experience is becoming a very frustrating experience.
