Python A Social Network with Flask Broadcasting Add Some Layout

Don't forget {% block content %}{% endblock %} for layout

In the video "add some layout", Kenneth shows you a pre-built layout.html file which he then starts adding authentication code to.

However, if you decide to build your own layout template file, you need to remember to add the {% block content %} <your content goes here> {% endblock %}. Otherwise, like me, you end up scratching your head for a good while trying to understand why (when you copied what Kenneth is doing), your links on your homepage no longer redirect to your register/login templates.

I know this has been covered before in way back videos, but this threw me.

In the video, this content block is already added and Kenneth doesn't explain that. So just be aware. :)
