Is it actually possible to find and drop in apps like you suggest? And have it just work? Is a repository of various blog apps out there? What if one of them do

  Yes, there's a whole universe of them. Here's a good place to start looking for things to help make development easier: https://djangopackages.org/ https://djangopackages.org/

  > What if one of them does something nasty to your database? Same question is valid for Wordpress plugins.

    Wordpress has already done nasty stuff to your database...

  Wordpress is a CMS more comparable to something like django-cms (haven't used it). Django is more generic than Wordpress. An example is worth 1000 words? Here's my app setup for the website I've been developing for 5 years. # these are the "drop-in" apps we've been discussing THIRD_PARTY_APPS = ( # django-allauth 'allauth', 'allauth.account', 'allauth.socialaccount', #'allauth.socialaccount.providers.facebook', # to add later on 'django_hosts', 'bootstrap3', 'imagekit', # for thumbnails 'paypal.standard.ipn', 'template_debug', 'import_export', # CSV import and export 'jfu', 'extra_views', 'post_office', 'django_xworkflows', 'markdown_deux', 'django_mobile_app_distribution', 'hijack', 'compat', ) # Ones I've written... LOCAL_APPS = ( 'membership', 'awards', 'reports', 'entryhandling', 'folio', 'judging_console', 'email_manager', 'printing', 'judges', 'logs', 'honours', 'api', 'questions', ) INSTALLED_APPS = DJANGO_APPS + THIRD_PARTY_APPS + LOCAL_APPS
