Russell,
I think I am starting to get the basic idea of 'extends' for templates.
However, I don't get what I need to do to get my basic example (or your
example for that matter) to generate the page I want to see in my browser.
It doesn't just work the way php would here so I am guessing I need to add a
'view' or do something with 'urls.py' or both but I can't figure out what
that would be since I am not processing anything or sending any information
to the page.
Thanks,
Vincent
