Answer 1

I will not give the code but I will explain how to do it.

I will help you with the comments part.

You have to create a model Comment link with a Foreign key to Post model. This will allow you to create Comment objects, then you will be able to stock them in your database and display them.

For the view, I prefer Function Based View, it will be easier for you.

And you have to create a ModelForm. To simplify creation of comments you should create an other html page.

I hope it was clear, Do not hesitate if you have any questions !
