Setup templates

so far, we have been returning only the string values when user visits some url.

We can return an actual html page instead of just some string.

• create a directory named templates in our blog package(name should be templates)
• add home.html file in that directory

we can return html files from our routes in the following way

from blog import app
from flask import render_template

@app.route("/")
def home():
    return render_template('home.html')

flask has method called render_template which can return html file instead of plain string.

render_templates always look for the html files in our templates directory. This is reason why we name our directory as templates

Implementation can be found over this commit
