Django blog post doesn't update it just creates another object - django

Question

This view is supposed to find a blog post and change it's information, but instead of that it just makes a new Blog object with the new (and old) information.
The update view
#login_required
def view_updatepost(request, blog_id):
if not request.user.is_staff or not request.user.is_superuser:
raise Http404
#post = Blog.objects.get(pk=blog_id)
post_to_be_changed = get_object_or_404(Blog, pk=blog_id)
form = BlogForm(request.POST or None, instance=post_to_be_changed)
if form.is_valid():
post_to_be_changed = form.save(commit=False)
#
#
post_to_be_changed.save()
#messages.success(request, "<a href='#'>Item</a> Saved", extra_tags='html_safe')
return HttpResponseRedirect(post_to_be_changed.get_absolute_url())
context = {
'post_to_be_changed': post_to_be_changed,
'form': form,
}
return render(request, 'blog/makepost.html', context)
The template used by the view makepost.html
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% load staticfiles %}
{% block main_content %}
<!-- Page Header -->
<!-- Set your background image for this header on the line below. -->
<header class="intro-header" style="background-image: url('{% static "img/about-bg.jpg" %}')">
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-8 col-lg-offset-2 col-md-10 col-md-offset-1">
<div class="page-heading">
<h1>Make a Post</h1>
<hr class="small">
<span class="subheading">Share with the World.</span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</header>
<!-- Main Content -->
<div class="container">

<div class="col-lg-8 col-lg-offset-2 col-md-10 col-md-offset-1">
{% if not user.is_authenticated %}

from django.db import models

# Create your models here.
class Blog(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=250)
subtitle = models.CharField(max_length=250, null = True, blank=True)
date_added = models.DateTimeField(default=datetime.datetime.now())
image = models.TextField(max_length=1000, null = True, blank=True)

article = models.TextField(max_length=15000, null=True, blank=True)
author = models.CharField(max_length=150, null=True, blank=True)
def get_absolute_url(self):
return "/blog/%i" % self.pk
The forms.py
from django import forms
from .models import Blog
import datetime
class PostForm(forms.Form):
title = forms.CharField()
subtitle = forms.CharField(required=False)
date_added = forms.DateTimeField()
image = forms.URLField(required=False)
tags = forms.CharField(required=False)
article = forms.CharField()
author = forms.CharField()
class BlogForm(forms.ModelForm):
class Meta:

fields = ('title', 'subtitle',
'image', 'tags', 'article')

Answer 1

It seems that you are not referring to your update view in your form action url:
<form action="{% url **"makepost"** %}" method="post">
