A full-featured blog web application built entirely with Django and server-side rendering (SSR) — no APIs, no React, no frontend frameworks.
This project was my second ever Django project, built right after my e-commerce site, as a way to strengthen my understanding of Django’s core backend features, templating system, and app architecture.

This is a blog platform where users can sign up, log in, write posts, and interact with published content.
The project is structured around five Django apps, each handling a clear part of the system:

Everything is rendered on the server side using Django Templates, keeping things fast, simple, and secure — exactly how a traditional Django app should be.

This project was a deep dive into Django’s fundamentals:

• Setting up multi-app Django projects
• Building models, views, and URL routes from scratch
• Using Django’s built-in authentication system
• Handling user sessions and messages
• Managing static & media files
• Structuring templates for scalable projects
• Connecting Django to a MySQL database
• Implementing CRUD operations across multiple apps

✅ User Registration & Login (via Django AllAuth)
✅ Create, Edit, Delete Posts (CRUD)
✅ Comment System (linked to posts)
✅ Blogger Profiles with Images & Contact Info
✅ Responsive Templates (server-rendered)
✅ Clean URL structure
✅ Message system for user feedback

🧩 Why This Project Matters

This project represents my foundation as a Django developer. It taught me how to structure large Django projects, connect apps together, handle authentication, and build a dynamic site with zero reliance on external APIs or frontend frameworks.

Everything you see here was done with Django’s core features, proving that I can build full, production-style applications with nothing but backend power.
