I'm not entirely sure how to do some of the things I want to in Django. Thus, my first question is generally best practices question as well as a how do I do this question.

Database. You can adjust the name after validation and just before it is saved to the database so you can just override the save method.

> Question #2: Examine my model design and tell me what I can do better, if I'm missing anything etc. I'm new to django so go easy. I didn't do the def and functions and class stuff just the over all structure. If it would be better if I posted that let me know and I will.

Just point me and kinda explain the theory and I'm sure I can figure out the rest.
