TextField and CharField (and other fields inheriting from CharField) shouldn't have null=True, because then you can store both a NULL and a blank string as the empty value, it's better to use only blank=True for those cases.

This is explained in the Django documentation: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/ref/models/fields/#null
