To view blog posts, you need to first add new posts to your db. You can do this by creating an admin user in your terminal

python manage.py createsuperuser

then navigate to the /admin panel to create a new post. New posts are created at /admin/hermes/post.

Blog posts now include tags which correspond to projects, such as representatives.

We've hard-coded tags to reduce the risk of typos and to ensure that tags are used consistently. To add or edit a tag, change the tag_values variable in democracy_club/apps/hermes/admin.py.
