Templates
● A base template is the most basic template that you extend on every page of
your website.
● In your blog/templates/blog/ create an new file base.html.
● Edit base.html and copy everything you have index.html in it.

● Replace whatever after the page-header div in the body with those tags
{% block content %}{% endblock %} and save the file.

● You used the template tag {% block %} to make an area that will have HTML
inserted in it. That HTML will come from another template that extends this
template (base.html).
Templates
● In blog/templates/blog/index.html,
remove everything above and under
<h2>Blog Index!</h2>.

● Include the above code in the content


blocks between {% block content %}
and {% endblock %}.
Templates
● To connect the base template and the index template together, add an
extends tag to the beginning of blog/templates/blog/ file.

● If you visit your webpage once more you will find that everything works as
expected.
