I. Introduction

In this tutorial, I'll walk you through developing a blog using the Cookiecutter-Django framework, storing the projects' static assets in an AWS S3 bucket, and deploying the blog to Heroku. Our blog would have a blog model that we'll call Post, a categories model, a contact form, and a model to showcase our past works or a portfolio page.

We'll then be using Bootswatch's Darkly theme, built on top of the Bootstrap CSS framework for our blog's styles. Feel free to choose a different theme if you prefer to.
