The follwing articles were of much use when switching this weblog from the no longer maintained Nucleus to Mezzanine, a modern blog and content management system, based on the Django web application framework and Python:

2. Installing Mezzanine with its dependencies (e.g. psycopg2 python support for the PostgreSQL database to be used as content repository):
