Templates
+++++++++
To ease the template customisations a ``djangocms_blog/base.html`` template is used by all the blog templates;
the templates itself extends a ``base.html`` template; content is pulled in the ``content`` block.
If you need to define a different base template, or if your base template does not defines a ``content`` block,
copy in your template directory ``djangocms_blog/base.html`` and customise it according to your
needs; the other application templates will use the newly created template and will ignore the bundled one.

All the items will be created in every language configured for the website
and the pages will be published. If not using **aldryn-apphook-reload** or
