Create Your Own CMS-Blog

Create your own blog! It is cool that creating a blog by yourself! Let's start to do it~

First, we need to create a Django CMS project. If you already have one, you can skip STEP1.

What is "CMS"? CMS is a system that you can edit the content by double-clicking content.

requirements: django > 1.11, Python == 3.7

Recommandation: Create a virtual environment and activate it.

 pip install djangocms-installer

STEP1：Create a CMS project

 pip install django

create a folder where you want your project to be and cd 'folder_name'

>> mkdir myProject
>> cd myProject

Create a new project

 >> djangocms mysite

The following is a sample tutorial about editing 'base.html':

add below code at beginning:

{% load cms_tags sekizai_tags %}

{% load static from staticfiles %}

add below code ahead of </head>:

{% render_block "css" %}

add below code ahead of <body>:

{% cms_toolbar %}

add below code ahead of </body>:

{% render_block "js" %}

Finally, replace text and images going to be edited with：

{% placeholder 'contentName' %}

Then, You can create your own Blog!
