Personal Blog Tutorial

This project is used in my Make A Personal Blog tutorial series. Intentionally, I embark on showing how building a personal blog can be a fun side project to learn Flask and web development in general. If you can build your own blog from scratch, why use a template?

To run the application on your machine, clone this project:

$ git clone git@github.com:GitauHarrison/personal-blog-tutorial-project.git

Create and activate your virtual environment:

$ mkvirtualenv personal_blog # I am using a virtualenv wrapper

Install the dependancies used:

$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Run the application:

$ flask run
