  <body>
    {% block content %}
       {% for post in posts %}
        <h3> {{post.title}} </h3>
        Author: <b> {{post.author}}
        <a href='{{post.url}}'> read more </a>
        {% endfor %}
       {% endblock %}
   </body>
from glass import GlassApp
from glass import render_template,render_string
from glass import request,redirect

app = GlassApp()
@app.route('/')
def home():
  posts = get_all_posts()
  return render_template('index.html',posts=posts)

@app.route('/greet/<name>')
def greet(name):
  template = '''

  '''
  return render_string(template,name=name)
