I have put up the tutorial for creating a Django Blog Engine. 

It was quite a lot of work for me to produce this tutorial, but several people have been asking me to do it, so, it is done.  I have given links to other tutorials for developing Django blogs and similar things, so, if mine is a little weak, well, look at the work of the masters. 

Please let me know of error, bad omissions, stupid ways of doing things.  I have been rather deliberate not to follow the DRY (don't repeat yourself) principal as much as a good Django developer might like.  My idea was more to make sure that almost anyone, even someone with as little knowledge as me, could take on the tutorial and produce a blog engine. 

There are lots of things that I wanted to include or thought of doing a different way after I started - in some places it may make the text confusing.  If so, please let me know.  I wrote the whole thing while working on other stuff as well, and with your help, cleaning it up a little, we can make it useful to someone, I hope. 

I am well aware that writing blog engines is, mmm… boring.  My only answer to that is, well, don't read the tutorial.  I think that writing a blog is a good entrance into Django for new developers - once you can do a blog you have worked through a great deal of the problem of creating most small apps. 

So, it is there, I wrote it, I like it, and that is all there is to say about that. 

Have a rocking weekend!
