Hello everyone,

I am currently following a django tutorial regarding applications. I have followed through completely but for some reason, when I run server, i incur no errors but the web page is blank. Why would this be?

Here is what is not displayed:

from my Home.html file:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title></title>
</head>
<body>
    {% for post in posts %}
        <h1>{{ post.title }}</h1>
        <p>By {{ post.author }} on {{ post.date_posted}}</p>
        <p>{{ post.content }}</p>
    {% endfor %}

</body>
</html>

from my views.py file:
from django.shortcuts import render

post = [
    {
        'author': 'CoreyMS',
        'title': 'Blog Post',
        'content': 'First Post Content',
        'date_posted': 'August 27, 2018'
    },
    {
        'author': 'Jane Doe',
        'title': 'Blog Post 2',
        'content': 'Second Post Content',
        'date_posted': 'August 28, 2018'
    }
]

def home(request):
    context = {
        'post': post
    }
    return render(request, 'blog/home.html', context)

def about(request):
    return render(request, 'blog/about.html')

My urls.py:
from django.urls import path
from . import views

urlpatterns = [
    path('', views.home, name='blog-home'),
    path('about/', views.about, name='blog-about'),
]

I recreated the project and changed the view function to the below, and it now works fine for me:

def home(request):
    context = {
        'posts': post
    }
    return render(request, 'home.html', context)
