Nginx Configuration for Wordpress on Subdomain

server {
    listen 80 default_server;
    server_name example.com;
    location @wp {
      rewrite ^/blog(.*) /blog/index.php?q=$1;
    }
    location ^~ /blog {
        root /home/ubuntu/micropyramid;
        index index.php index.html index.htm;
        try_files $uri $uri/ @wp;
        location ~ \.php$ {
            include fastcgi_params;
            fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;
            fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
           }
    }
}
