url-shortener
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
This is URL shortening application using the Django framework
|
|
|
|
The shortened URLs use the base 62 value of ids of the model they are
|
|
stored in. A count of how many times the URLs are used is kept. The
|
|
main page shows the 10 most recent and 10 most popular URLs.
|
|
|
|

Download Blueprint from: http://www.blueprintcss.org/
|
|
Copy the "blueprint" folder into static/css/ (which you may need to create)

Note that in a production installation, you'll want to have your web
