You need to 'activate' your loggers manually. You can do this per module, like 'blog.views'. It will pick up submodules, so to log the whole blog app, just put in 'blog'.

If you leave it empty, it will log everything not handled before and with propagate=True (not the default). This will also log all of Django, which means on debug level you will get SQL queries in your logs.

'loggers': {
        'django.request': {
            'handlers': ['mail_admins'],
            'level': 'ERROR',
            'propagate': False,
        },
        'blog.views': {
            'handlers': ['console'],
        },
        'blog': {
            'handlers': ['console'],
        },
        '': {
            'handlers': ['console'],
            'level': 'DEBUG',  # Not recommended.
        }
    }
