Over the past week or so, I have been getting more heavily involved with Django again. Most of the work that I have done is on a personal blog that is actually something that would be useful to me if I had a place to host it. I feel like I have learned a lot as I have experimented and I have learned enough to attempt to start working on making my works portable.

Portability has become important to me as I have two different setups to test my Django projects. Moving a Django project from one setup to the other was always a pain and it would take edits of several project files to get things working properly. As I have been writing Django projects lately, I have learned more things about Django that would help make my projects more portable. Now, I can actually use the appropriate method of just editing the settings.py file and doing a syncdb to get things going and have everything work properly.

Now, it's time for a random shout out. If you use Django or you are thinking of experimenting with Django, I would recommend that you listen and subscribe to the This Week in Django podcast. The main host of the podcast, Michael Trier, also makes a Django screencast series that has been really helpful to me as I have done more work with Django.

Yo spiders. I am just posting saying that I will be back in Peoria later tonight and I will be uploading some of the pictures that I have taken of my little adventure so far. Unlike other times I say that I will do something, I most definitely will post pictures in the next couple of days.

Also, I am messing around with hosting on WebFaction. I will probably only keep an account with WebFaction for two months. So far, I have had a very good experience and Django apps run great on their servers. Right now, my old RedTube Downloader app is running but it should get replaced soon.
