Yes, that would be the relationship and that was actually the first
thing I tried. The template gets passed an "array" of "entry" objects.
Within the template, I loop through them printing the headline, portion
of the body, and the created date. With Author's as a foreign key, I
assumed you could do something like {{ entry.author.name }} but I get
nothing in my output when I do this. I assume that objects passed in a
template can't follow their foreign key relationships.
Sorry, I am still very new to both Django as well as Python. Forgive me
if I am not stating my problem clearly.
