How Do I Add Images To My Blog Posts?

I am new to Django and followed djangogirls.com tutorial that makes a blog. In the model of a (blog) post there is a TextField that contains a post's text. However, I am trying to make it so that I can put a variable number of pictures within that text, and at any position within it.

I wrote HTML into a blog's text and used template tags to turn off auto-escaping. This allowed me to include images wherever I wanted, but I want to know if there is a better way to implement this? Even if someone can point me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.

I'm happy to post code, I just didn't know what code would be helpful.

You can use some rich text editor for that likewyswig or ckeditor.

Here I am using ckeditor

First install ckeditor

pip install django-ckeditor

Then,

project settings.py

INSTALLED_APPS = [

    . . . .
    'ckeditor',
    'ckeditor_uploader',
    . . . . 
]

CKEDITOR_JQUERY_URL = '//code.jquery.com/jquery-3.1.1.min.js'

CKEDITOR_UPLOAD_PATH = 'uploads/'

CKEDITOR_CONFIGS = {
    'default': {
        'toolbar': 'full',
     },
}

project urls.py add

url(r'^ckeditor/', include('ckeditor_uploader.urls')),

app models.py

from ckeditor_uploader.fields import RichTextUploadingField

text = RichTextUploadingField(null=True, blank=True)
