How to Setup Django CMS in pre existing Django
Oh yea, this is a bit of a longer one today that we are looking at.
I have a current website https://quick-time-management.com which is a great tool to keep you on track and see what you actually have done through out the day and I want to setup a blog for it for content.
Currently it's running Django, pretty happily :) and we want to add Django-CMS to it.
Checkout the youtube video for this one at
Django cms
