Re: render_to_response pointing to multiple templates

I am new to Django as well - but in answer to your second question,
you'll need to create a views.py within the app and register the url
in urls.py in the root. Then you can pull in variables from your app
into the template. For example, if you have a Places class which
includes a name and address, your template could read:

{% for p in places%}
<h1>{% p.name %}</h1>
<p>{% p.address %}</p>
{% endfor %}

I recommend going through the "Writing Your First Django App"
tutorial: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/tutorial01/ -
it's very helpful and gives a great overview.
