I've followed the "Getting Started" tutorial in the official documentation. However, when I get to the step where you create the blog, the blog does not show up in Wagtail's admin. Only the home application shows up. I registered the blog in the base settings, ran makemigrations and migrate. The only step I didn't follow exactly from the tutorial is that rather than naming the project "mysite" I called it "personal_page."

I thought it might be a mistake on my part in following the tutorial, but I started a completely new project, carefully followed every step, and continued to have the same problem.

I'm using Python 3.4 on Linux Mint.

Figures, as soon as I finally post about it, I figure it out. I didn't understand that you have to go to Explorer > Add Child Page, then the blog. I'll see if I can submit a pull request to make the tutorial a little clearer.

Hi, Tomas. 
Make a new project from a template completely from the textbook. It is important that your first application must have a clean and simple form (better without the underscore) - for example, myfirstwebsite. Since the inside of the project are based on the file name. If you need help, please contact us. At the very first time, there were problems. :)
