 # django girls blog
 
 Target: create a blog using django.
+
+## 01 Your first Django project!
+
+### 1.1 Create Django project
+
+* Command to start Django project:
+
+```
+$ django-admin startproject mysite.
+```
+
+Generating following dir structure:
+
+```
+djangogirls
+├── manage.py
+├── mysite
+│   ├── __init__.py
+│   ├── settings.py
+│   ├── urls.py
+│   └── wsgi.py
+├── myvenv
+│   └── ...
+└── requirements.txt
+```
+
+where:
+* `setting.py`L: helps with management of the site.
+  * contains configuration of the website
+* `urls.py`: contains a list of patterns used by `urlresolve`
+
+### 1.2 Change settings of django website
+
+Edit `mysite/settings.py`:
+
+1. Change timezone: `TIME_ZONE=Australia/Canberra'
+2. Change language: `LANGUAGE_CODE = 'en-us'
+3. Add a path for static files (e.g. CSS and static files): `STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')`
+4. Add allowed host site: `ALLOWED_HOST = ['127.0.0.1', '.amazonaws.com']` for using cloud9
+
+### 1.3 Set up a database
+
+Django support multiple databases, to store data. `sqlite3` is the default one, which is already set up as shown in `mysite/settings.py`:
+
+```python
+DATABASES = {
+    'default': {
+        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
+        'NAME': BASE_DIR / 'db.sqlite3',
+    }
+}
+```
+
+After confirming database settings, migrate the project `python manage.py migrate`
+
+### 1.4 Starting the web server
+
+```
+python manage.py runserver
+```
+
+## 2. Django models
