Blogs Project

This is a simple blog application built with Django. The project allows users to create, read, update, and delete blog posts. It also includes a structured system for managing blog titles and associating them with corresponding blog posts.

Project Overview

The Blogs project provides a platform where users can write and manage blog posts. Each post is associated with a blog title, making it easy to categorize and organize the content. The application leverages Django’s admin interface for managing posts and titles and uses Bootstrap for front-end styling.

Key Features:

  • Create, Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD) functionality for blog posts.
  • Separation of blog titles and content using a relational database model.
  • Django's admin site for managing blog content.
  • Bootstrap integration for responsive design and a clean user interface.

Models

  • BlogTitle: Represents the title of the blog and the date it was added.
  • BlogPost: Contains the text of the blog post and a foreign key relationship to BlogTitle to ensure that each post is associated with a specific title.

Technologies Used

  • Django: The web framework used to build this project.
  • Python: The programming language used for development.
  • SQLite: The database used for data storage.
  • Bootstrap 5: Front-end framework for styling.
  • django-bootstrap5: For integrating Bootstrap with Django forms.
