I think my problem might be that I'm not saving the slug. When I save a
review I do...
review = Review(.....) #<---- Everything but a slug gets passed as a kwarg
review.save() #<--- Then I save the review.
How do I save the slug when I save the review. Does Django automajically do
this for me or do I need to do something with a review.save() method?
Thanks again,
Bill
