Django Blog
This is a blog website I created using Django and SQLite. The blog is hosted on PythonAnywhere and is accessible to anyone. Feel free to register for a new account, create a post or just check it out!
The reason I created this blog was to learn Django, get familiar with best practices in full stack web dev and having fun with creating a website from scratch. I used Django Girls tutorial as a starting point and highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn Django, even if you're new to programming!
