It doesn't really matter, but I often forget it, so make a note.

To get Django to look for templates under your application, you can't just say APP_DIRS``` in
`TEMPLATESin settings.py.
installed_apps```You need to add yourself to.
settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = [
'testapp', #myself
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
]
TEMPLATES = [
{
'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
'DIRS': [],
'APP_DIRS': True,
'OPTIONS': {
'context_processors': [
'django.template.context_processors.debug',
'django.template.context_processors.request',
'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
],
},
},
