I'd go poking through the people whose blogs are aggregated on the community page of the django site. I've seen more than a few of them mention that they have created their own CMSs using Django with blog-like functionality. I know that at least one or two of them have made their code available.
Making a basic blog with Django is pretty simple, but there is some learning to do, and work to do creating your templates. Starting with someone elses solution would give you a jump start and probably allow you to get things up and running relatively quickly. maphew wrote: > okay, here's the background: I've been maintaining some websites since > the mid 90s.
