I have a couple apps now, and they all seem fine, working great. I’m in the process of making a blog in Django and have found a weird issue. I am unable to add my “Post” model to the admin. I do the usual “pass”:

```auto
from django.db import models
 
class Tag(models.Model):
    tagname = models.SlugField()
 
class Post(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    slug = models.SlugField(prepopulate_from=('title',))
    date = models.DateTimeField('Date published')
    body = models.TextField()
    tags = models.ManyToManyField(Tag)
    lead_image = models.ImageField(upload_to='images/blog/', blank=True)
    class Admin:
        pass

```

And it gives me this error when i try to manage.py syncdb:

```auto
# python manage.py syncdb

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "manage.py", line 11, in ?
    execute_manager(settings)

    self._populate()

    self.load_app(app_name, True)

    mod = __import__ (app_name, {}, {}, ['models'])
  File "/var/www/vhosts/joshuajonah.com/django-projects/jj/../jj/blog/models.py", line 14
    class Admin:
    ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

```

There is another app with a models.py that has the same code in it and it just adds it to the admin and works great, any idea on why this one doesn’t like me?

Nevermind, it was Dreamweaver adding spaces instead of a tab.
