+Your first Wagtail site
+=======================
+
+1. Install Wagtail and its dependencies:
+
+   ``pip install wagtail``
+
+2. Start your site:
+
+   ``wagtail start mysite``
+
+   Wagtail provides a ``start`` command similar to
+   ``django-admin.py startproject``. Running ``wagtail start mysite`` in
+   your project will generate a new ``mysite`` folder with a few
+   Wagtail-specific extras, including the required project settings, a
+   ``requirements.txt`` file to track your project's dependencies, and a
+   "core" app with a blank ``HomePage`` model and basic templates
+
+3. Create the database:
+
+   ``python manage.py migrate``
+
+   If you haven't updated the project settings, this will be a SQLite
+   database file in the project directory.
+
+4. Create an admin user:
+
+   ``python manage.py createsuperuser``.
+
+5. ``python manage.py runserver`` If everything worked,
+   http://127.0.0.1:8000 will show you a welcome page
+
+   .. figure:: ../_static/images/tutorial/tutorial_1.png
+      :alt: Wagtail welcome message
+
+   You can now access the administrative area at ``/admin``
+
+   .. figure:: ../_static/images/tutorial/tutorial_2.png
+      :alt: Administrative screen
+
+Extend the HomePage model
+-------------------------
+
+Out of the box you get a blank HomePage model and the core app has a
+migration that creates a homepage and configures Wagtail to use it.
+
+This example extends the HomePage model to add a body field.
+
+.. code:: python
+
+    from django.db import models
+
+    from wagtail.wagtailcore.models import Page
+    from wagtail.wagtailcore.fields import RichTextField
+    from wagtail.wagtailadmin.edit_handlers import FieldPanel
+
+
+    class HomePage(Page):
+        body = RichTextField(blank=True)
+
+        content_panels = Page.content_panels + [
+            FieldPanel('title', classname="full title"),
+            FieldPanel('intro')
+        ]
+
+``body`` is defined as ``RichTextField``, a special Wagtail field. You
+can use any of the Django core fields. ``content_panels`` define the
+capabilities and the layout of the editing interface. :doc:`More on creating Page models. <../topics/creating_pages>`
+
+
+Run ``python manage.py makemigrations``, then
+``python manage.py migrate`` to update the database with your model
+changes. You must run the above commands each time you make changes to
+the model definition.
+
+To reflect the model changes, edit
+``core/templates/core/home_page.html``. Wagtail uses normal Django
+templates to render each page type. It automatically generates a
+suggestion by separating capital letters with underscores (e.g. HomePage
+becomes home\_page.html).
+
+.. code:: html+django
+
+    {% extends "base.html" %}
+
+    {% load static core_tags wagtailcore_tags %}
+
+    {% block body_class %}template-{{ self.get_verbose_name|slugify }}{% endblock %}
+
+    {% block content %}
+        {{ self.body|richtext }}
+    {% endblock %}
+
+.. figure:: ../_static/images/tutorial/tutorial_3.png
+   :alt: Updated homepage
+
+A basic blog
+------------
+
+We are now ready to create a blog. To do so run
+``python manage.py startapp blog`` to create a new app in your Wagtail
+site.
+
+The following example defines a basic blog post model in
+``blog/models.py``
+
+.. code:: python
+
+    from django.db import models
+
+    from wagtail.wagtailcore.models import Page
+    from wagtail.wagtailcore.fields import RichTextField
+    from wagtail.wagtailadmin.edit_handlers import FieldPanel
+    from wagtail.wagtailsearch import index
+
+
+    class BlogPage(Page):
+        date = models.DateField("Post date")
+        intro = models.CharField(max_length=250)
+        body = RichTextField(blank=True)
+
+        search_fields = Page.search_fields + (
+            index.SearchField('intro'),
+            index.SearchField('body'),
+        )
+
+        content_panels = Page.content_panels + [
+            FieldPanel('title', classname="full title"),
+            FieldPanel('date'),
+            FieldPanel('intro'),
+            FieldPanel('body', classname="full")
+        ]
+
+Add the new ``blog`` app to ``INSTALLED_APPS`` in
+``mysite/settings/base.py``. Run ``python manage.py makemigrations`` and
+``python manage.py migrate``.
+
+.. figure:: ../_static/images/tutorial/tutorial_4.png

+   :alt: Page edit screen
+
+Image support
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Wagtail provides support for images out of the box. To add them to your
+model:
+
+.. code:: python
+
+    from django.db import models
+
+    from wagtail.wagtailcore.models import Page
+    from wagtail.wagtailcore.fields import RichTextField
+    from wagtail.wagtailadmin.edit_handlers import FieldPanel
+    from wagtail.wagtailimages.edit_handlers import ImageChooserPanel
+    from wagtail.wagtailsearch import index
+
+
+    class BlogPage(Page):
+        main_image = models.ForeignKey(
+            'wagtailimages.Image',
+            null=True,
+            blank=True,
+            on_delete=models.SET_NULL,
+            related_name='+'
+        )
+        date = models.DateField("Post date")
+        intro = models.CharField(max_length=250)
+        body = RichTextField(blank=True)
+
+        search_fields = Page.search_fields + (
+            index.SearchField('intro'),
+            index.SearchField('body'),
+        )
+
+        content_panels = Page.content_panels + [
+            FieldPanel('title', classname="full title"),
+            FieldPanel('date'),
+            ImageChooserPanel('main_image'),
+            FieldPanel('intro'),
+            FieldPanel('body'),
+        ]
+
+Adjust your BlogPage template to output the image:
+
+.. code:: html+django
+
+    {% extends "base.html" %}
+
+    {% load static core_tags wagtailcore_tags wagtailimages_tags %}
+
+    {% block body_class %}template-{{ self.get_verbose_name|slugify }}{% endblock %}
+
+    {% block content %}
+        <h1>{{ self.title }}</h1>
+        <p class="meta">{{ self.date }}</p>
+
+        {% if self.main_image %}
+          {% image self.main_image width-400 %}
+        {% endif %}
+
+        <div class="intro">{% self.intro %}</div>
+
+        {{ self.body | richtext }}
+
+    {% endblock %}
+
+.. figure:: ../_static/images/tutorial/tutorial_6.png
+   :alt: A blog post sample
+
+You can read more about using images in templates in the
+:doc:`docs <../topics/images>`.
+
+Blog Index
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Let us extend the Blog app to provide an index.
+
+.. code:: python
+
+    class BlogIndexPage(Page):
+        intro = RichTextField(blank=True)
+
+        content_panels = Page.content_panels + [
+            FieldPanel('title', classname="full title"),
+            FieldPanel('intro', classname="full")
+        ]
+
+The above creates an index type to collect all our blog posts.
+
+``blog/templates/blog/blog_index_page.html``
+
+.. code:: html+django
+
+    {% extends "base.html" %}
+
+    {% load static core_tags wagtailcore_tags %}
+
+    {% block body_class %}template-{{ self.get_verbose_name|slugify }}{% endblock %}
+
+    {% block content %}
+        <h1>{{ self.title }}</h1>
+
+        <div class="intro">{{ self.intro }}</div>
+    {% endblock %}
+
+Related items
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Let's extend the BlogIndexPage to add related links. The related links
+can be BlogPages or external links. Change ``blog/models.py`` to
+
+.. code:: python
+
+    from django.db import models
+
+    from modelcluster.fields import ParentalKey
+
+    from wagtail.wagtailcore.models import Page, Orderable
