UPDATE (2 Feb 2021): I'm no longer running this site from wordpress, but these notes were super helpful to me – perhaps they can be for others as well.
Hi there world! If you can read this, then my WordPress install actually worked. Excuse me while I go celebrate by drinking designer orange juice and disconnecting from Stack Overflow for a bit.
I'm planning to write a little more about how I self-installed WordPress, but for now I'll just say that I'm running this site from a lovely droplet, and like most (all?) self-hosted WordPress sites, it's running on linux, apache, mysql, and php7. I've learned a lot about this standard LAMP stack in the last few weeks, and it's been a heck of a ride.
