15. Deployment on PythonAnyWhere ( Wiki | DjangoGirls )
16. create a new route for our blog on mysite/urls.py

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path
from django.urls import include

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('', include('blog.urls')),
]

17. ok we see we add blog.urls so we need create or edit blog/urls.py as

from django.urls import path
from . import views

urlpatterns = [
    path('', views.post_list, name='post_list')
]

18. we doesn't have any post_list function on views so we need create a one on blog/views.py

from django.shortcuts import render

# Create your views here.
def post_list(request):
        return render(request, 'blog/post_list.html', {})

19. so we can create a html as post_list.html for view in blog/templates/blog directory
20. for add static files Read this doc
