I understand the mapping of urls.py but I guess I'm not clear on a few things to begin with, like what is the equivalent to an index.html page in django? I know that the system works off of a template system like using "base.html" as the design skeleton for a site and extending that system with calls to different views, but what happens when I want to just request the index page for a django site? Let's say I register and add a subdomain to my Dreamhost account say... mysite.com, when I issue the startproject command as django-admin.py startproject mysite is there some sort of connection between the two? Do I scrap the Dreamhost generated directory "mysite.com" and the actual command I should be issuing is django-admin.py startproject mysite.COM? What is returned for an index page if there is no ndex.html or index.php?
