It depends on what you'd like to do with the programming knowledge.
Javascript - Good for web designers, developers, creating apps.
Python - Good for scripting, automating tasks, small programs.
C# - Good for game/dev/software dev.
C++ - Good for software design & dev, game dev too.

1. Learn a language. Python is the easiest to get started with. Tons of resources and huge community. "Automate the boring stuff" is a good book to learn python and it's free.
You can read it here
2. Once you are comfortable with the language, start build projects. You mentioned an autoblog. This can be a good project after phase 1.
For that project to be successful, you will need to figure how to get content for your autoblog (be it scraping from posts and paraphrasing etc, just posting a snippet and a link to original post etc), how to clean and build the proper text and how to use the Wordpress REST API (if you use wordpress) for uploading programmatically.
All of this will require googling and research.
In the end. Don't get demotivated. It can be overwhelming for an absolute beginner.
Have realistic expectations. It can take several months from knowing nothing about programming to building an autoblog. You make baby steps everyday.
Don't give up. Just keep learning.

Then you'd want to learn Python. I love it and code scripts to automate some of my mundane SEO tasks that SEO companies charge an absurd amount for.
So, firstly, you'll want to understand the basics such as variables, functions, etc. Take a small read of this: https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_intro.asp#:~:text=Python has a simple syntax,prototyping can be very quick.
Here are a few videos on the basics of Python:
Now, after you've understood the basics, you'll also want to know the basics of data science and understand algorithms & data structures. Watch this:
Don't take in too much information at once. Try to learn this day by day. Also, don't get stuck in tutorial hell, which is just watching tutorials & not building projects on your own.
Good luck!

Coding is not very hard to learn, improve your critical thinking to make logic
