Your English is fine! What you want is template tags, http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/templates_python/#writing-custom-template-tags and template inheritance. That way, you could do something like this in a base template: <div> {% block content %}{% endblock %} </div> <div> {% friends_birthdays %} </div> <div> {% quotes %} </div> and in some inherited template (say, specific to your blog), you could do: {% block content %} Blog stuff here {% endblock %} For some examples, you can look at the source code of awwca.ca, found at: http://svn.jayparlar.com/website/trunk/awwca/ Here, I have a templates/base.html which defines the base template. I also have templatetags created in articles/templatetags and events/templatetags Jay P. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
