Pre-Thanksgiving Relaunch Update

Progress on my personal site relaunch for Sitesprint II continues apace. At this point all the work has been on the backend code but my gains there have been good. In my last post I set some ground rules which I have so far kept, including five significant commits to my code repository per week. Admittedly, it’s only been one week, but whatever... The result is Belleville, a blogging CMS written in Django. As I mentioned, this site currently runs in a Django-based CMS I wrote a while ago. Does the world really need yet another django-based blogging CMS? Or another blogging CMS at all? Well, no, probably not; but I do. And my hope is that this one represents a good example of code that is idiomatic to Django, is extensible, offers a nice feature set, and is easy to theme; in other words, I hope other folks might find it useful too. It’s open source and free for the taking.
