Giorgio;

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking by "connect a website to a database." It really depends on what your website backend is programmed in and what, if any, framework you are using as to how it will be accomplished.

What tech stack are you using or wanting to use? That would provide a lot of assistance in being able to provide more specific, and helpful, information.

I'd suggest you put the data in a database and the images in a file system. Again, the "how" aspect of this will depend on while language you use on the backend, Python, Java, JavaScript, etc. are all possibilities. For a full-blown blog site, you will likely need to implement routes so that a visitor can go to "yoursite.com/article/1" and ".../article/2" and get the correct blog post. Each language and framework for the language will handle how this is handled slightly differently.

Depending on the framework you decide to use, some databases will be more preferred than others. If you decide to write your own blog application yourself then you would be free to choose which database you use much more easily.

There's a lot to learn for sure, Giorgio Manos. I'm happy to help along the way, but before getting into the specific "how do I do X, Y, and Z" you'll need to provide a better idea as to what you are hoping to accomplish for your project.

Best wishes,
Ken
