Day 9: Using Django’s Admin Interface

Django comes with a powerful admin interface. Let’s set it up!

1. Create a Superuser

To access the admin interface, create a superuser:

python manage.py createsuperuser

2. Enable the Admin Interface

In blog/admin.py, register your model so it shows in the admin panel:

3. Access the Admin Interface

Run the server:

python manage.py runserver

Go to http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/ or http://localhost:8000/admin/ and log in with the superuser credentials. You can now add and manage posts!

4. Next Step

Tomorrow, we’ll look at how to deploy your website.
