Django DIY Blog

Basic blog site written in Django (part of MDN Django module assessment)

This web application creates an very basic blog site using Django. The site allows blog authors to create text-only blogs using the Admin site, and any logged in user to add comments via a form. Any user can list all bloggers, all blogs, and detail for bloggers and blogs (including comments for each blog).

The models for this site are as shown below:

For more information see the associated MDN assessment page.

Quick Start

To get this project up and running locally on your computer:

1. Set up the Python development environment. We recommend using a Python virtual environment.
2. Assuming you have Python setup, run the following commands (if you're on Windows you may use py or py -3 instead of python3 to start Python):

   pip3 install -r requirements.txt
   python3 manage.py makemigrations
   python3 manage.py migrate
   python3 manage.py collectstatic
   python3 manage.py test # Run the standard tests. These should all pass.
   python3 manage.py createsuperuser # Create a superuser
   python3 manage.py runserver
   

3. Open a browser to http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/ to open the admin site
4. Create a few test objects of each type.
5. Open tab to http://127.0.0.1:8000 to see the main site, with your new objects.
