Is there a way to add the user to the data model, so it knows who
created the record and who updated it last?
You need to establish a couple of foreign key fields in your model (eg
created and updated) which both link to auth.user. Then grab
request.user at the appropriate time and do <model>.created =
request.user and <model>.updated = request.user just before saving.
This can be done in the admin
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/ref/contrib/admin/#django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin.save_model
In your own forms it is the same as updating any other fields.

Hello,
I'm relatively new to Django. So I have a working (local) web
application. I can create new model objects from the admin site, but
I would like my users to be able to create their own objects and
save them to the database. I'm really confused on the over arching
process on how this is down and I would appreciate it if someone
could lead me in the correct direction.
I want to allow my users:
1. fill in information on a page
2. submit this page to the database
3. redirect them to a page that reflects their input ("You
successfully submitted this {{title}}")
Thanks
