+There is a sample application in ``sample_taggit``. You can run it by doing the following:
+
+- Run migrations with ``sample_taggit/manage.py migrate``
+- Make yourself a superuser with ``sample_taggit/manage.py createsuperuser`` (this should let you use the admin with ease)
+- Launch the sample project itself with ``sample_taggit/manage.py runserver``
