All routes are located in routes/web.py
and are extremely simple to understand. They consist of a request method and a route method. For example, to create a GET

You can read more about routes in the Routing documentation
We will start off by creating a view and controller to create a blog post.
A controller is a simple class that holds controller methods. These controller methods will be what our routes will call so they will contain all of our application logic.

Let's create our first route now. We can put all routes inside routes/web.py
and inside the ROUTES
list. You'll see we have a route for the home page. Let's add a route for creating blogs.
