Your problem is here:
def category_entry(request, category):
entries_in_cat = Entry.objects.filter(entry_cat=category)
return render_to_response('blog/index.html', locals())
Remember, the value of "category" is a string. One way or another you
need adjust the filter. Something like this should do the trick.
entries_in_cat = Entry.objects.filter(entry_cat__name=category)
-or-
thecat = Category.objects.get(cat_name=category)
entries_in_cat = Entry.objects.filter(entry_cat=thecat)
I prefer the first...
