I don't know why you think this is a bad way to do it. It's a
perfectly good method. Django doesn't usually serve your media for
you, although it can be made to do it via the development server only,
so using Apache is the normal way to do it.

Re: About using django-tinymce

well, guys, I've solved this problem, but in a bad way.

Since I'm running the site locally with the default django server, the
MEDIA_URL became a confusing thing to me. Luckily I have an Apache
server running on my machine, so I just set the MEDIA_URL to 'http://
localhost/media/' and copied the files needed in to it.

I think it's a bad way, even no way worse. But it works :)

Re: About using django-tinymce

[Off topic suggesting another rich text powerful editor]
You can also try  django CK editor
1) which is easy to user
2) which is powerful,fast and more robust than TInyMCE
http://code.google.com/p/django-ck/
3) with every ease you can also integrate directly.

Re: About using django-tinymce

thank you, I missed the line 'form = BlogForm' in admin class, but
after I added this, the tinymce editor still doesn't show, except that
the body textarea is bigger than it used to be.

Yes, I am very unconfident about my MEDIA_URL settings too. But I
don't know how to set it in my case that I am running the site on the
localhost.

Just to clarify, are you trying to get tinymce displaying in your
django admin?  If so, you have to tell the admin for your BlogPost
model to use the BlogForm.  So do you have an admin.py with something
like the following?

class BlogPostAdmin(ModelAdmin):
form = BlogForm

If it still doesn't work after following Daniel's suggestion, you
might try debugging using Firebug. Problems like this are usually
because the Javascript is not loaded.

Well, I would assume that MEDIA_URL is wrong - it's very unlikely you
want it to be blank. But more to the point, what is serving the media
and what URL is it serving it on? That's the value you should use for
MEDIA_URL.
