+The `post_detail` part means that Django will be expecting a URL in `blog/urls.py` with `name=post_detail`.
 
 And how about `pk=post.pk`? `pk` is short for primary key, which is a unique identifier for each record in a database. Every Django model has a field which serves as its primary key, and whatever other name it has, it can also be referred to as "pk". Because we didn't specify a primary key in our `Post` model, Django creates one for us (by default, a field named "id" holding a number that increases for each record, i.e. 1, 2, 3) and adds it as a field to each of our posts. We access the primary key by writing `post.pk`, the same way we access other fields  (`title`, `author`, etc.) in our `Post` object!
