Don't correlate my frustration with not being able to do something or anything in django. That wasn't the case, not what I meant. I'm glad you were able to make a shitty blog, I'm sure you're satisfied with yourself.

Its not only shitty, its ugly too, thats to be expected from a noob :D
I guess i didn't express my point very well, the idea was that i used the docs and found them very useful, and i was able to do something that i was unable to do if i hadn't. Maybe you could say specifically what you don't like about the docs, here is what i liked:
-there was a good tutorial, that skipped some details, and let me get a general feel of how things work. -the rest of the docs are divided in to sections and finding things was easy, it was pretty well organized. -There were notes and backward compatibility warnings, that helped me avoid some headaches.
Well, i don't like the green colorscheme, but other that that i had no headache with it. Maybe if i went on to make something more complicated?
1-day to do the html(very little html knowledge) 1-day to learn css and do it( i had no css or web design experience) 2-days slacking off 1.5 days reading documentation and writing code as i go along 0.5 days finishing the code and inserting the django template tags in to the html, also seting up the admin site and then killing off the project as a good experience.
As you might guess, i had no other web experience, except some simple html, i found the django docs to be extremely to the point and useful. I also had a problem with setting up django, and people on irc helped with that too.
