Now I can spice up my blog posts.

Implementing Markdownx isn't as straightforward as one would expect, at least it wasn't for me.

For me, it took a fair bit of restructuring my project, because I did NOT use a central static folder. This is important with Django in many settings, because as you start to serve static files and store media you need this space.

My second problem was probably not sitting down and taking the time to understand EXACTLY how Django renders forms based on models. When you don't have that one-to-one understanding of what is creating what, it's easy to get confused.
