About the Blog Site System

I developed this project using the following:

• Python
• Django
• HTML
• CSS
• JavaScript
• jQuery
• Ajax
• Bootstrap v5
• Material Design Framework
• Font-awesome Icons

This Blog Site System Project has different features and functionalities that are available for 3 types of user roles. The application can be accessed by Admin (SuperUser), Authors, Anonymous User (Public). The Admin User can access both Django's Admin Panel and Sites User Interface. Admin Users are the ones who can manage the list of the blog/content categories. They can also overwrite the authors' published/unpublished blog content and details. The Authors can simply create their system credentials by registering their system account. Authors can only Create, Update, and Delete their own posts. The visitors of the site can list all the published articles or contents. They can also list all the posts per category. Category List at the top bar is only limited to 3. Other Categories can be accessed at the categories list. The application contains also a feature where system-registered users can update their system credentials and avatar.
