Excellent resources
Working with django is turning out to be a better experience than I first thought. Firstly there is excellent code resouces you can browse, read, download and code from. Second all the documentation can be downloaded in text format. The layout, markup or whatever you want to call it is in reStructuredText. Another reason to get the docs. It makes for excellent re-enforcement until I work out how to add some formatting short cuts. Until then any text editor (vim) or form textbox will do.

Slugging it out
I always look for working examples for code. There's nothing worse than reading through wades of code and the writer takes a short-cut in the tutorial and the example does not work. One example I found was a very simple engine by Ross Poulton that uses tags. It appears he uses a combination of both slug field (to store data) & template tags to display data from the template.
