# Django Forms
The final thing we want to do on our website is create a nice way to add and edit blog posts. Django's `admin` is cool, but it is rather hard to customize and make pretty. With `forms` we will have absolute power over our interface – we can do almost anything we can imagine!
The nice thing about Django forms is that we can either define one from scratch or create a `ModelForm` which will save the result of the form to the model.
This is exactly what we want to do: we will create a form for our `Post` model.
Like every important part of Django, forms have their own file: `forms.py`.
We need to create a file with this name in the `blog` directory.
```
blog
└── forms.py
```
OK, let's open it in the code editor and type the following code:
blog/forms.py
```
from django import forms
from .models import Post
class PostForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:
model = Post
fields = ('title', 'text',)
```
We need to import Django forms first (`from django import forms`) and our `Post` model (`from .models import Post`).
`PostForm`, as you probably suspect, is the name of our form. We need to tell Django that this form is a `ModelForm` (so Django will do some magic for us) – `forms.ModelForm` is responsible for that.
Next, we have `class Meta`, where we tell Django which model should be used to create this form (`model = Post`).
Finally, we can say which field(s) should end up in our form. In this scenario we want only `title` and `text` to be exposed – `author` should be the person who is currently logged in (you!) and `created_date` should be automatically set when we create a post (i.e. in the code), right?
And that's it! All we need to do now is use the form in a *view* and display it in a template.
So once again we will create a link to the page, a URL, a view and a template.
## Link to a page with the form
Before we add the link, we need some icons to use as buttons for the link. For this tutorial, download [file-earmark-plus.svg](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/twbs/icons/main/icons/file-earmark-plus.svg) and save it in the folder `blog/templates/blog/icons/`
> Note: To download the SVG image, open the context menu on the link (usually by right-clicking on it) and select "Save link as". In the dialog asking you where to save the file, navigate to the `djangogirls` directory of your Django project, and within that to subdirectory `blog/templates/blog/icons/`, and save the file there.
It's time to open `blog/templates/blog/base.html` in the code editor. Now we can use this icon file inside the base template as follows. In the `div` element inside `header` section, we will add a link before the `h1` element:
blog/templates/blog/base.html
