Tom Christie d87113ff60 For now just point the examples at rest.ep.io
Would be nice to keep the custom subdomain, but too much of a PITA
right now.

Blog Posts API

The models
----------
In this example we're working from two related models:
``models.py``
.. include:: ../../examples/blogpost/models.py
:literal:
Creating the resources
----------------------
We need to create two resources that we map to our two existing models, in order to describe how the models should be serialized.
Our resource descriptions will typically go into a module called something like 'resources.py'
``resources.py``
.. include:: ../../examples/blogpost/resources.py
:literal:
Creating views for our resources
--------------------------------
Once we've created the resources there's very little we need to do to create the API.
For each resource we'll create a base view, and an instance view.
The generic views :class:`.ListOrCreateModelView` and :class:`.InstanceModelView` provide default operations for listing, creating and updating our models via the API, and also automatically provide input validation using default ModelForms for each model.
``urls.py``
.. include:: ../../examples/blogpost/urls.py
