Creating a blog for your web application is a proven way to generate traffic for
your app, increase brand awareness, attract customers, and more. But to ensure
that this blog will enrich your web app, you need to choose the right toolset
and development strategy.
Django is one of the key frameworks that empowers developers to create complex
and feature-rich applications. In this article, we explore how to leverage this
framework’s opportunities to create a simple but reliable blog for a web
application. This guide will show you the most essential steps of creating a
blog with Django and Python.
HOW TO USE DJANGO TO CREATE A BLOG FOR YOUR WEB APP
In a nutshell, creating a blog for your web application is just like developing
any other software. It includes the following six stages:
1. Planning. Lay the foundation for the entire project by identifying the needs
of your end users, gathering requirements, defining goals, and choosing the
technology stack. By establishing a clear vision and roadmap during this
stage, you increase the chances for your development process to start off on
the right track.
2. Design. Focus on creating a visually appealing and user-friendly interface.
Create wireframes, mockups, and prototypes to visualize how the application
will look and ensure that the design aligns with the project’s requirements
and provides a blueprint for the development process.
3. Development. Start the actual coding and implementation of your blog. At
this stage, your developers write the necessary code, create databases, and
integrate various components to bring the application to life.
4. Testing. Ensure the quality and reliability of your web application’s blog
before deploying it. It’s essential to systematically check the
application’s functionality, performance, and security. Your team can use
both manual and automated testing techniques to identify and fix any issues
or bugs, ensuring that blog functionality works as intended.
5. Deployment. Make your application’s blog available to users. This stage
includes setting up servers, configuring the necessary infrastructure, and
launching the application in a live environment. Deploying the application
requires careful planning to ensure a smooth transition from development to
production.
6. Maintenance. Monitor the application’s work, address any user-reported
issues, and make regular updates to keep the application secure, efficient,
and up to date. Maintenance ensures that the application continues to meet
users’ needs.
In this article, we focus solely on development, testing, and deployment to show
you how to manage these essential stages of creating a blog using Django. We
omit other stages of the process as they don’t depend on Django as much.
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE MANAGE.PY FILE IN DJANGO
Before we start this Django blog tutorial, let’s briefly explore the importance
of the manage.py file, mentioned both in instructions from our previous article
and later in this article. The reason is that this file provides a wide range of
possibilities for creating web applications, and we should discuss them before
explaining each blog development stage.
The manage.py file serves as the entry point for executing Django-specific
commands and performing common tasks. It encapsulates the functionality of the
django-admin command-line tool but provides additional project-specific
features:
* Run the development server. You can start the local development server by
running the python manage.py runserver. This allows you to preview your
Django application in a local environment.
* Manage database migrations. Django provides a powerful database migration
system. With manage.py, you can create and apply migrations to keep your
database schema in sync with your code changes.
* Create new Django apps. You can use manage.py to create new Django
applications within your project. This generates the necessary file structure
and boilerplate code to get started with a new app.
* Run tests. Django includes a testing framework, and you can run your tests
using manage.py. It provides commands to run tests and generate test coverage
reports.
* Generate Django project components. The manage.py file allows you to generate
various Django project components, such as models, views, forms, and
templates. This streamlines the process of creating new code files within
your project.
To learn more about the django-admin command-line utility and manage.py, you can
explore the official documentation.
Once you familiarize yourself with the opportunities offered by manage.py, let’s
start developing your Django blog app. This process will also include five major
steps:
Let’s assume you have already agreed on all requirements, goals, and the blog’s
design. Now, we move to exploring each step of building a blog application with
Django and Python in detail.

1. DEVELOP THE BLOG PROJECT
Before starting, make sure you have an existing Django project. If you’ve
followed the steps from our previous article on building web applications using
Django, you already have a virtual environment and a project called myProject.
Let’s move on from there:
CREATE AN APPLICATION
To create a new application, use the following command:
Python
python manage.py startapp blog
As you can see, in our example, we named the application – blog.
To add the newly created blog application to your project, add it to the
settings: /myProject/myProject/settings.py
Python
INSTALLED_APPS = [
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
'Django.contrib.staticfiles',
'blog'
]
Then, run your project using the cmd command or PyCharm.
CREATE DATABASE MODELS
During this step, you need to define models for future blog posts, including
fields like post title, author, content, and publication date.
Here’s an example of how to define a Django database model for a blog:
Python
from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
STATUS = (
(0, "Draft"),
(1, "Publish")
)
class Post(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=300, unique=True)
author = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='blog_posts')
content = models.TextField()
status = models.IntegerField(choices=STATUS, default=0)
created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
updated_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
class Meta:
ordering = ['-created_at']
def __str__(self):
return self.title
Let’s take a closer look at the field parameters the Post class contains:
* title ensures a field with a maximum length of 300 characters and is unique
to make sure there won’t be several identical titles in the database.
* author associates each blog post with its author. This parameter is a foreign
key to the built-in Django User model.
* related_name sets the reverse relation name for the blog_post field in the
User model.
* context stores post content.
* status creates an integer field that offers choices defined by the STATUS
tuple. This parameter has a default value set to 0.
* created_at shows the publication date and time, with the auto_now_add=True
value meaning that the field is automatically set to the current date and
time when the model instance is created.
* updated_at shows the date and time of the last update, with the auto_now=True
value meaning that the field is automatically set to the current date and
time whenever the model instance is updated.
The code example above also includes:
* The Meta class, which sets the order of blog posts using the -created_at
field, where the – prefix means that the most recently created posts will be
displayed first.
* The __str__ method, which is used to display the representation of the model
instance in a list of all models in the admin panel.
You also need to create a new table in the database using the following
commands:
* python manage.py makemigrations to generate a migration file
* python manage.py migrate to migrate changes to the database
BUILD AN ADMIN INTERFACE TO MANAGE ALL BLOG POSTS
Since Django already comes with a built-in admin interface, all you need to do
is create a superuser with the following command and log in to the admin panel:
Python
python manage.py createsuperuser
Let’s explore an example:
Username (leave blank to use ‘<username>’): admin
Email address: admin@gmail.com
Password: <password>
Password (again): <password>
Superuser created successfully.
After creating a superuser, re-run the development server to apply changes:
Python
python manage.py runserver
To access the built-in admin interface, navigate to http://localhost:8000/admin
and put your credentials in the form that appears:
Screenshot 1. Login interface
After logging in, you can only see the Group and Users tabs:
Screenshot 2. Admin interface
If you want to see the Post model in your admin panel, include it in the
admin.py file of your application. Here’s an example of how to do it:
Python
from django.contrib import admin
from .models import Post
class PostAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
list_display = ('title', 'status',)
list_filter = ('status',)
search_fields = ('title', 'content',)
admin.site.register(Post, PostAdmin)
This code registers the Post model in the Django admin site and defines a custom
admin interface for it.
The PostAdmin class creates a custom admin interface for the Post model. It
inherits from the admin.ModelAdmin class, which provides a basic interface for
managing model instances on the Django admin site.
Let’s take a closer look at the attributes from the example above:
* list_display sets the fields that should be displayed in the list view for
the Post model in the admin site. In our example, it includes the title and
status fields.
* list_filter sets the fields that should be used to filter the list view for
the Post model on the admin site. In our example, we filter posts only using
the status field.
* search_fields sets the fields that should be searchable on the admin site. In
our example, we can search text via the title and content fields.
Now, register your admin interface in the admin site using the
admin.site.register() function.
You can open your Post model and see posts in it:
Screenshot 3. Post interface
CREATE VIEWS
This step will ensure that posts can be seen on the main page of your service.
Apart from views, you also need to create HTML templates for the data returned
by these views and map these templates with specific URLs.
Let’s explore a simple example of creating views that will sort posts:
Python
from django.views import generic
from .models import Post
class PostList(generic.ListView):
"""
Return all posts that have status 1 (published) and order from the latest to most recent.
"""
queryset = Post.objects.filter(status=1).order_by('-created_at')
template_name = 'index.html'
class PostDetail(generic.DetailView):
model = Post
template_name = 'post_detail.html'
Let’s take a closer look at the classes from our example:
* PostList is a ListView class that returns all posts with status 1 (Publish)
and orders them by their creation time in descending order. The template for
this view is specified as index.html.
* PostDetail is a DetailView class that returns the details of a single post.
The model attribute specifies that the view associated with the Post model
and the template for this view is post_detail.html.
CREATE URL PATTERNS
The Django controller checks URLs to return the right view every time a user
makes a request to the page.
What you need to do is create a file in the myProject/blog directory named
urls.py to specify application-level URLs using the following code:
Python
from . import views
from django.urls import path
urlpatterns = [
path('', views.PostList.as_view(), name='home'),
path('<int:id>/', views.PostDetail.as_view(), name='post_detail'),
]
Let’s explore the URL patterns for your blog in detail:
* path('', views.PostList.as_view(), name='home') adds a URL pattern for the
blog’s home page. When the URL is empty, this pattern will call the PostList
view class as a function, which will return the list of published posts.
* path('<int:id>/', views.PostDetail.as_view(), name='post_detail') adds a URL
pattern for the detail page of a single post. It accepts an integer as the
post’s ID and calls the PostDetail view class as a function, which will
return detailed information of the post that matches the ID.
The name argument identifies URL patterns in the templates.
IMPORT URLS
Now, import URLs from the blog to the URLs file of the myProject directory
(myProject/urls.py):
Python
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('', include('myApp.urls')),
path('blog/', include('blog.urls')),
]
Here are the URL patterns for the entire project:
* path('admin/', admin.site.urls) for the Django admin site
* path('', include('myApp.urls')) for your application. When the URL is empty,
this URL pattern will call the URL patterns of myApp.urls.
* path('blog', include('blog.urls')) for your application’s blog. When the URL
contains blog/, this URL pattern will call the URL patterns of blog.urls.
CREATE URL TEMPLATES
If you try to access any of your URLs right now, you’ll see an error:
TemplateDoesNotExist. The reason is that you haven’t actually created any of
them. So, let’s use HTML, CSS, and Django template language to create view
templates.
First, configure your templates in the project settings to the default directory
where all project templates are stored. Add the following code to setting.py:
Python
TEMPLATES_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')
TEMPLATES = [
{
'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
'DIRS': [TEMPLATES_ROOT],
'APP_DIRS': True,
'OPTIONS': {
'context_processors': [
'django.template.context_processors.debug',
'django.template.context_processors.request',
'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
],
},
},
]
Second, create the following HTML files:
1. base.html
2. index.html
3. post_detail.html
Let’s explore each file in detail.
1. base.html
The structure of the base.html file will be the basis for all future templates.
Create a simple file with headers and content:
Python
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>My Blog</title>
</head>
<body>
{% block content %}
<!-- Content goes here -->
{% endblock content %}
</body>
</html>
Define a block with a tag {% block content %} named content (you can make any
number of blocks in all paths of an HTML file). Now, you can create another
template that extends it and override the content block to provide specific
content for each application page. Close it in the end using the {% endblock
content %} tag.
2. index.html
The index.html file extends the base.html template using the Django template
language. It will contain the blog entries on the main page and use templates of
post_detail.html. Here’s what this file’s structure can look like:
Python
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% block content %}
<header class="masthead">
<div class="overlay"></div>
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class=" col-md-8 col-md-10 mx-auto">
<div class="site-heading">
<h3 class=" site-heading my-4 mt-3 text-white">Welcome to my blog.</h3>
</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</header>
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<!-- Blog Entries Column -->
<div class="col-md-8 mt-3 left">
{% for post in post_list %}
<div class="card mb-4">
<div class="card-body">
<h2 class="card-title">{{ post.title }}</h2>
<p class="card-text text-muted h6">{{ post.author }} | {{ post.created_at}} </p>
<p class="card-text">{{post.content|slice:":200" }}</p>
<a href="{% url 'post_detail' post.id %}" class="btn btn-primary">Read More →</a>
</div>
</div>
{% endfor %}
</div>
</div>
</div>
{% endblock %}
Let’s take a closer look at the tags from the example above:
* {% extends "base.html" %} indicates that this template extends the base.html
template and allows index.html to inherit any blocks or code from it.
* {% block content %} opens the content block, which can be overridden in child
templates that extend this template.
* {% for post in post_list %} loops through a list of blog post objects and
displays their title, author, creation date, and truncated content.
* {% url 'post_detail' post.id %} generates a URL to the post detail view for
each blog post.
* {% endfor %} indicates the end of the for loop.
* {% endblock %} closes the content block, which can be overridden in child
templates.
3. post_detail.html
And here’s an example of how to create the post_detail.html file that provides a
detailed view of the blog post:
Python
{% extends 'base.html' %} {% block content %}
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-8 card mb-4 mt-3 left top">
<div class="card-body">
<h1>{% block title %} {{ object.title }} {% endblock title %}</h1>
<p class=" text-muted">{{ post.author }} | {{ post.created_at }}</p>
<p class="card-text ">{{ object.content | safe }}</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
{% endblock content %}
CHECK THE RESULTS
Congratulations! At this step, you’ve created your first Django blog
application. Here’s how your files will be structured in your Django project:
Screenshot 4. File structure of the Django blog application
Now, you can see your published posts on the home page:
Screenshot 5. Published posts on the homepage of a Django blog application
And you can open every post on its own page:
Screenshot 6. Opening a blog post in a new page
2. ADD A SLUG TO YOUR BLOG
One of the key considerations when creating a blog is slugs. A slug is the last
part of the URL that contains a unique string of characters, serving as a unique
identifier for a resource.
Slugs not only improve the user experience; slugs also serve SEO purposes,
helping you improve your blog’s promotion.
To make your post URLs look more informative, initialize a URL for every post
using the models.SlugField() model. Let’s explore this process step by step.

ADD A NEW ATTRIBUTE
Add a new attribute to the Post model (blog/models.py) slug:
Python
class Post(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=300, unique=True)
slug = models.SlugField(max_length=300, unique=True)
author = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='blog_posts')
content = models.TextField()
status = models.IntegerField(choices=STATUS, default=0)
created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
updated_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
class Meta:
ordering = ['-created_at']
def __str__(self):
return self.title
Then, update your migration file and perform migrations.
If you don’t want to update all fields in the database, you can just delete the
database file (db.sqlite) and migration file (blog/migrations/0001_initial.py).
After that, migrate your changes, update your database, and create a new
superuser.
ADD THE SLUG FIELD TO THE ADMIN PANEL
To do that, change list_display in the blog/admin.py file as shown below:
Python
class PostAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
list_display = ('title', 'slug', 'status',)
list_filter = ('status',)
search_fields = ('title', 'content',)
Now, when you open the admin site, you’ll see all three attributes in the post
list:
Screenshot 7. The slug attribute in the post list
CHANGE YOUR URL PATTERN
Go to the blog/urls.py file and make the following changes:
Python
from . import views
from django.urls import path
urlpatterns = [
path('', views.PostList.as_view(), name='home'),
path('<slug:slug>/', views.PostDetail.as_view(), name='post_detail'),
]
Then, change the templates/index.html file: instead of using post.id, when you
click on the Read More button, get the post.slug field from the Post model:
Python
<div class="card-body">
<h2 class="card-title">{{ post.title }}</h2>
<p class="card-text text-muted h6">{{ post.author }} | {{ post.created_at}} </p>
<p class="card-text">{{post.content|slice:":200" }}</p>
<a href="{% url 'post_detail' post.slug %}" class="btn btn-primary">Read More →</a>
</div>
CHECK THE RESULTS
Now, when you go to a post’s detail page, you’ll see your slug field in the URL
instead of the ID number: http://localhost:8000/blog/third/
Screenshot 8. Example of a blog post page with a slug field in the URL
3. CREATE FUNCTIONALITY FOR ADDING IMAGES
If you want to enable users to add images to blog posts, you’ll need to make
some changes to your models, forms, and templates.
1. Add the ImageField model to your Post model so it can store the image data:
Python
blog/models.py
Here’s how to do it:
Python
class Post(models.Model):
...
image = models.ImageField(upload_to='images/', default="")
....
@property
def img_preview(self):
if self.image:
return mark_safe(f'<img src = "{self.image.url}" width = "300"/>')
return ""
2. Introduce changes to the Admin model to show your image in the admin panel:
blog/admin.py
Python
class PostAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
list_display = ('title', 'img_preview', 'slug', 'status',)
list_filter = ('status',)
search_fields = ('title', 'content',)
readonly_fields = ('img_preview',)
def img_preview(self, obj):
return obj.img_preview
img_preview.short_description = 'Image Preview'
Once you have image data, you can use the Pillow library to resize and optimize
images before storing them on your server.
3. Display the images in your blog post using the img tag in your template. Add
this tag to the templates/post_detail.html file.
Here’s how to do it:
Python
{% extends 'base.html' %} {% block content %}
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-8 card mb-4 mt-3 left top">
<div class="card-body">
<h1>{% block title %} {{ object.title }} {% endblock title %}</h1>
<p class=" text-muted">{{ post.author }} | {{ post.created_at }}</p>
<p class="card-text ">{{ object.content | safe }}</p>
{% if object.image %}
<img src="{{ object.image.url }}" alt="{{ object.title }}">
{% endif %}
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
{% endblock content %}
4. Check the results.
At this point, you should be able to see images at http://127.0.0.1:8000/blog/.
Screenshot 9. An example of what the blog looks like with an image for each post
By now, you’ve enriched your Django blog with images, and it’s time to move to
the testing stage.

4. TEST YOUR BLOG
To create a blog app with Django that works flawlessly, it’s essential to test
it to ensure the correctness and reliability of your code before deployment.
Django provides a built-in testing framework that makes it easy to write and
execute tests for your Django applications. This testing framework allows you to
create test cases to verify the behavior of your models, views, forms, and other
components.
By writing tests in Django, you can catch bugs early, ensure that new features
work as expected, and have confidence in your application’s stability. Testing
helps you maintain code quality, enable refactoring with confidence, and promote
a robust development process.
When writing tests in Django, you can create subclasses of Django’s TestCase or
TransactiontestCase classes. These classes provide various methods and
assertions to help you define test cases and verify expected behavior.
To execute tests, you can use the python manage.py test command, which discovers
and runs all tests in your Django project. Django’s test runner automatically
creates a test database, isolating your tests from your development or
production databases. This ensures that your tests don’t affect your data and
provides a clean slate for each test run.
Django’s testing framework also includes support for fixtures, which allow you
to define and load test data. Fixtures provide a way to set up the initial state
of your database for testing, making it easier to write tests with consistent
data.
Let’s create two simple tests for your blog, assuming that your view works as
intended and only aiming to check basic functionality:
* Request the home page to send you a response with the 200 status that
includes content from the previously created post.
* Open a page with a post and check whether this page has all information about
this post.
Below, we share an example of how to write such tests using Django’s testing
framework.
Change your blog/tests.py file to add new tests:
Python
from django.test import TestCase
from django.urls import reverse
from .models import Post
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
class BlogTests(TestCase):
# fixtures = ["fixture1.json"] # Optional: If you have fixture data to load for the tests

In this code, the BlogTests class extends the TestCase class to create a test
case for your blog application. Use the setUp method to set up the necessary
test data, including creating a test user (author) and a test post (post). The
test_post_list_view and test_post_detail_view methods contain individual test
cases.
The comments provided in the code above explain each section:
* Setting up the test user and post
* Logging in to the user account
* Accessing views using the self.client.get() function
* Asserting the response status code
* Checking for the presence of expected content using self.assertContains()
* Verifying whether a template is responsible for generating content and
responding to requests using self.assertTemplateUsed()
But if you want to use a fixture, you need to uncomment the string with the
fixtures parameter, delete the setUp method, and create your fixture. Also,
you’ll have to add a new parameter to the project settings.py file where you
mention the path to the directory with fixtures files. In this case, it will be
a directory on the same level with templates and named fixtures.
Here’s an example of using a fixture:
Python
FIXTURE_DIRS = [
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'fixtures'),
]
Then, create the fixtures/fixture1.json file. Its contents will look like this:
Python
[
{ "model": "auth.user",
"pk": 1,
"fields": {
"username": "testuser",
"password": "testpassword"
}
},
{ "model": "blog.post",
"pk": 1,
"fields": {
"title": "Test Post",
"content": "This is a post with test content.",
"author": 1,
"slug": "test",
"status": 1,
"created_at": "2023-05-01T12:04:51.516",
"updated_at": "2023-05-01T12:04:51.516"
}
}
]
Note: An alternative way to create a fixture is to generate it using the
dumpdata command based on your existing database data:
Python
python manage.py dumpdata <app name>.<model name> –output=<fixture file name>
You can use a fixture for all tests. Just put it at the beginning of your test:
Python
from django.test import TestCase
....
from django.core.management import call_command
class Tests(TestCase):
def test_name(self):
call_command('loaddata', 'fixture file name', verbosity=0)
....
As you can see, the verbosity parameter is set to 0 to suppress the output
during test execution.
You can refer to Django’s official documentation for more detailed information
on how to write tests, use fixtures, and explore advanced testing concepts.
5. DEPLOY YOUR BLOG
Once you manage to build a blog with Django that can display posts, it’s time
for the next steps:
* Styling the pages
* Working on the design
* Adding the ability for users to create their own posts
* Adding functionality for administrators to edit user posts
* Establishing delayed publication, etc.
You may notice that the example application in this article is still in debug
mode. In this mode, you can see extended logs with all information, which is
helpful for you when coding. But when you’re moving the project to production,
make sure to turn debug mode off. The reason is that logs can contain sensitive
information, and there’s a chance an attacker might access and use it.
On a security note, your settings file is similar to the wp_config file and
should be protected at all costs by only being accessible to the development
team.
To turn off debug mode, simply change the DEBUG variable in the
myProject/settings.py file. You’ll be required to provide a host that is allowed
to connect to this application. In our example, we run the application locally,
so we use localhost:
Python
# SECURITY WARNING: don’t run with debug turned on in production!
DEBUG = False
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['127.0.0.1']
There are many things that can be configured here, so it’s worth reading the
official documentation to explore all the opportunities. The main reason for
using the myProject/settings.py file is to set environment variables. You can
use the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE environment variable to define the basic
settings.
You will most likely use DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE for using environment variables
where you can have your applications relying on environment variables.
If, for example, you are running a standalone application and need to introduce
some additional changes (like providing some registry settings or system
changes), you can use the django.setup call to introduce your changes. There can
be other reasons for using this call, but in general, it should only be used in
standalone applications.
Note: You can call django.setup() only once. Therefore, avoid putting reusable
application logic in standalone scripts so that you have to import functions
from the script elsewhere in your application.
To expand your web application to a wide audience, you need to publish it on a
domain. Purchase hosting with a domain that will provide you with access to its
functionality via an open internet network. Popular hosting choices are
InterServer, Hostinger, A2 Hosting, SiteGround, and GreenGeeks.
