This is more of a best-practices question, and given that I'm quite tired it mightn't make much sense. I've been putting together a blog app as a learning experience and as an actual part of a website I am developing. I've designed it like most apps so that you can list blog posts by multiple criteria i.e. /blog/categories/ /blog/au...

I know you can filter through objects within a template and limit characters but how do you ac...

If you just want to override certain blocks of the template you also have to copy the whole template ad change that block, whi...
