You have not explained exactly where you put your "custom_tags" app. Check the
following things:
o The custom_tags/ directory should be in the same directory as your manage.py
o Your template tag(s) should be in, say,
custom_tags/templatetags/custom_tags.py
o There should be two empty files, custom_tags/__init__.py and
custom_tags/template_tags/__init__.py
o Use "{% load custom_tags %}" where the "custom_tags" here refers to the file
name, not the app name
I'm guessing you have most of this but are missing the __init__.py files.
