Hello,
Your views have a 'name' attribute. You can also give a name to an app
in the urls.py file of the app, right above your urlpatterns list:
app_name = "myappname"
urlpatterns = [
path('', views.index, name='index'), path('about', views.about,
name='about'), path('blog', views.blog, name='blog'), ]
Then, when you need to put a link to a another page in your template,
use the following syntax:
<li><a href="{% url 'myappname:index' %}">Home</a></li> <li><a href="{% url
'myappname:about' %}">About Us</a></li>
Regards,
Red
