Sorry, what I meant was: How would I find the SQLite database?

And I realize now I wasn't so clear on what I'm trying to do. 

I want to make a page that's kind of like a blog. Instead of calling the 
page "Blog," I call it "Projects." In a normal blog, when you click on each 
blog post, it opens a template that pulls the blog post content from a 
database. In my case, I want to click on each "project" post. But instead 
of pulling words from a database like a blog does, I want to load a custom 
HTML template.

For example, if I go to `http://127.0.0.1:8000/projects/some-slug`, the 
page should load the `some-slug` template, which may look something like 
this:


<script src="path/to/custom/script/for/this/page"></script>
<div> A bunch of custom stuff here </div>


And I want `some-slug` to extend `project_detail` template.

Does this make more sense? Am I going about this whole thing right?
