How To Integrate A Website With The Steem Blockchain

![player.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXRT4VcE4VRKjxdJAURhSaDj3NQU7m5BJQfhc7RRaWfiF/player.jpg)

I run a website for musicians called [AtomCollectorRecords.com](https://www.AtomCollectorRecords.com).
I'm a bit "old school" so it's written in classic ASP as I haven't kept up with the latest languages but it serves my purpose for what I wanted to create - a place where independent musicians can get heard and listeners are incentivised to listen.

I created a Steem Engine token, ATOM, to allow listeners to earn crypto when they listen and currently they can use this to request upvotes from another of my accounts, @musicvoter2.
The "token" on the website is off-chain as it is simply stored in a database and then when someone requests a withdrawal we have to manually send the Steem Engine tokens to their account.

I would now like to learn how to interact with the Steem blockchain so that I can add more automatic functionality to the site but I am unsure where to start?

If anyone could point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.

Thank you!
