Ok You _don't_ need 2 models for different users , will you make a third one for moderators ? 4th for editors ? 5th... Why not make a user table with an 'is_admin' bool field and check on that ? Or even more generic - a 'role' field. Try to read some more on database design (you can start at wikipedia [1] but dont take normal forms too serious) I don't know what to gice you about app development... try to look at code that other people wrote (bakery, cheesecake photoblog, even the code generated by bake)
