Check that your configuration matches your project, making changes if needed. (For https://github.com/pyladies/djangotutorial, the default values work as-is.)

Scroll all the way down. Click [Deploy project]

It should say "Working..." Wait for it to finish.  It should change to "Job succeeded, deployed at http://p00000333.djangozoom.net".

(Note: if it fails, check your configuration. Ask for help in #djangozoom - they're nice)
