For anyone going through this amazing program today, around you might get an error regarding the directory. Just get rid of the blog/ as you no longer need it.
I did step by steps as you said,but in when I try to run server, I get errors!

TemplateDoesNotExist error at . I'm using python3.9 and django 3.x. Any ideas?
- display data in template
create dummy data
Hey Corey at you create a variable named 'context' and set it equal to the 'post' variable you made immediately before. My question is why do we need this 'context' variable? Couldn't we just pass in the 'post' variable as the third argument to the render function? Your tutorials are the best. Cheers.
line 20. whats the logic of putting the posts list of dictionaries into another dictionary. Instead of just inserting the posts list object into the render function directly?also, thank you corey schafer!!!
Great tutorial...! But there was this weird "IndentationError: unindent does not match any outer indentation level" issue at ... so i declared my context variable outside home view declaration.
Great tutorial! BTW @ in django 2.1.2, context should be a dict, not a dict enclosed in a list.
Got to , no syntax errors and the page is simply blank. Pretty sure everything is correct and the same up to this point. Any ideas?
In the recap at could somebody clarify why the new dictionary 'context' was created to call the posts list of dictionaries. I am new to Python so apologies if I am missing a basic concept here... Thanks!
If anyone had issues around with getting the posts and context to display, the issue is that "context" is a keyword for the function. You can either pass an argument like return render(request, 'blog/home.html', context=context) or just rename it eturn render(request, 'blog/home.html', context1)
At , I stuck at a point, can we use both title and context in the return rendure(). If yes how?I tried with both but either context or title is working(i.e, giving priority to the first mentioned statement), not sure why.Help would be appreciated.

custom css / static directory
I made a mistake at and put the static directory in the templates/blog directory not in the root directory of the blog. After fixing that i got it working correctly.
Around the mark I received issues with loading the css. For anybody with this problem, it looks as if bootstrap have updates their css so I just copied the bootstrap part from base.html (from his github repo) instead of from the bootstrap starter page.
blog/main .css wasnt working for me so i tried /blog/main.css and it works now. i inspected element and it told me where the problem was (i dont know if this will cause issues later or something but it works fine for me)
hey man the issue you were having @ i cant able to solve even after restarting the server.please guide me through this ...thanks
*to anyone running into trouble around **** with the css:* what worked for me was to replace the line _<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% static 'blog/static/main.css' %}">_ with _<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% static 'blog/main.css' %}">_ (if you followed him exactly with setting up directories)
Hey guys i know some of you are having issues with your main.css loading at around . There are two things to look out for here.1. Make sure you typed your link tag correctly: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% static 'blog/main.css' %}">2. Make sure you are in debug mode: in settings.py, DEBUG = True, and ALLOWED_HOSTS = [].If you are deploying it with DEBUG = False, then you should read this documentation on deploying static files: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/howto/static-files/deployment/
If you're having trouble with the css around and have already tried the solutions in the comments, double check your code. Odds are you probably missed something when you were doing all that copying and pasting. (I missed the final </scripts> of the starter bootstrap template)
Lads, I also had a problem at , be careful when you create 'static' folder to add it under the correct 'blog' (not the 'blog' within 'templates'). Love the videos Correy (ps could you make some videos on ipywidgets?)
and face an error like in , make sure your bootstrap is v4.5. bcs in this tutorial the bootstrap is v4.0, that's why you have overlap navbar
so i was stuck with the nav bar issue at as well as most of you and i found out that its because i stored the static folder in the wrong folder. it should be in the first blog directory(folder) alongside templates and migration. not in the templates folder. I hope that helps.
@ not able to link css what might be the reason ? link tag is crct and creation of files is also crctEDIT : i made this crct ..should be type="text/css"( as shown video)
I followed the same main.css code, however I don't see my page getting page proper () even after restarting django server.any further idea on how to change the website rendering ?
at you've loaded up the webpage again and your login and register are outlined to the right, mine is still centered with the others. I've copied your css, what am I doing wrong here?
I wasn't getting the content to show up when I got to , turns out dictionaries are case sensitive. I had 'Content' : 'first post content' instead of 'content' : 'first post content'
