Homework: Add Wagtail to your website

Part of this chapter is based on Wagtail’s official Getting Started tutorial.

We can make our blog even more professional by adding Wagtail to our website while at the same time we are developing our coding skills in Python and Django. Wagtail is an open source content management system built on Django, with a strong community and commercial support. It's focused on user experience, and offers precise control for designers and developers.

The website we built through following the tutorial is a simplified content management system because it allows us to add and manage content as well as serve it to the visitors of our blog. Wagtail on the other hand is a more complex content management system with more advanced features. Adding Wagtail to our website will enable us to learn more about Django and see what cool applications we can build with it.

In this part of the tutorial, we will cover the following aspects:

• Installing Wagtail and Configuring Wagtail

• Adding the Homepage

• Adding Posts

• Change Website Homepage

So let's get started!
