My Own Django Blog

2009-12-01 11:47:56

I have plans to move to using a Django blog that i can customize myself. I don't know if i should go down the route of implementing my own or using one that exist. Here is a list of Blogging applications written in Django. What i need is something

• easily skinable allowing me to change the look-and-feel to the way i want it, something green and minimalistic
• someway of transferring all the posts here to that app
• Tagging
• Allowing comments on posts
  

Seems like Banjo has all the things i want.

Maybe Blogmaker aswell. Even though Byteflow has Threaded comments it restricts comments to only registered users which i don't want.

And i may look into django-diario

But i will just play with Banjo now.

EDIT: To play with Django i need to install 5 other packages. I'm adding a new requirement to the blog application i need, easily configurable, download change settings.py with correct paths, create database, run syncdb and start server (built in server), start Blogging. I don't want to go hunting for more packages.

Splitting Headache and Django

2009-12-01 11:47:56

One of those days again today, a headache so bad that walking the effort of putting one step in front of other brings waves of throbbing that you can feel in the veins in your brain.

Anyway, new job (part-time at the moment), Django developer, so im learning Django (i've got three weeks!) and it looks very clean. Model-Template-View paradigm is understandable and i agree that its up to everyone's own interpretation (of MVC too). Anyway i still need to learn.

With Django installed on my MacBook Pro, that makes four web-frameworks, Rails,Turbogear, web.py and now Django. My headache is coming back....nooooo.
