Add environment validation error messages and Django Girls tutorial-specific references:

  • Implements _validate_platform() to check for required API_USER and API_TOKEN environment variables before deployment
  • Adds API connectivity test to fail fast with helpful error messages if credentials are invalid
  • Expands README with step-by-step Django Girls tutorial deployment instructions
  • Updates sequence diagram and documentation to clarify bash console behavior (browser must open console URL to start the process per PythonAnywhere API requirements)

TODO:

  • Run webapp.reload() AFTER copying wsgi file
  • Configure webapp's static path for /static/ to point to /home/$USER/my-first-blog/static, somehow dynamically find that
