That’s not what WordPress is. WordPress is a blog engine that can be used as a general-purpose CMS, full stop. You don’t need any coding skills to build a website with WordPress. Many people have done that — especially on wordpress.com or shared hosting services with one-click WP installers; and even without an installer, setting up WordPress on shared hosting requires a FTP client and reading comprehension anyways. On the other hand, Django is nothing like this. Django can do anything you tell it to, and you need to write code. While Django handles some things for you (eg. the admin panel or the ORM), you still need to write models, views, URL configuration, etc. yourself. You need an understanding of relational databases, HTTP, HTML/CSS, the template engine, and you do need to write actual code. And while there are tons of ready-made blog applications for Django that you can install and use, you can (and should!) write your own in an hour or two. And it’s a lot more fun to do that than lazily downloading something. -- Chris Warrick <https://chriswarrick.com/> PGP: 5EAAEA16
