cycle at this

{% for story in data %}

    <a href="#"><img src="{{ STATIC_URL }}images/thumb.jpg" width="185" height="185" /></a>
    </div>
    <div class="thumbFooter">
    <span class="view">
    <a href="#" class="viewIcon">{{ story.views }}</a>
    </span>

    <a href="#" class="likeIcon">{{ story.likes }}</a>
    </span>
    </div>

    </li>

You can build your own custom filter

In the templatetags directory of your Django, add a file named ‘mod.py’. In that file add the following code:

from django import template
register = template.Library()

def mod(value, arg):
    if value % arg == 0:
        return True
    else:
        return False

register.filter('mod', mod)

In your template use the mod filter like this:

...
{% load mod %}
...
<tr bgcolor="{% if forloop.counter|mod:2 %}#cccccc{% else %}#ffffff">
...
