Re: Template Loader Error: (It's been really frustrating till now..!)

You can also have a "templates"  directory in any app of yours and Django will pick them up from there.

It's also best practice to start your template path with your app name. For instance: myapp/templates/myapp/my template.html
Or; mytemplatedir/myapp/mytemplate.html

Indeed  django does not elect to use templates from a given app over another, so if two apps have a template with the same name, you're in trouble.
Only the templates from your Template dirs have higher priority.

This also makes overriding templates easier should you decide to redistribute your app, as one can have a myapp directory in their template dir to override your templates, as templates from this folder will have higher priority than those from the App dir.

Template Loader Error:
Django tried loading these templates, in this order:
Using loader django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader:
/home/tony/Documents/blog/blog/templates/about.html (File does not
exist)

make sure that /home/tony/Documents/blog/blog/templates/about.html exist. Else, add templates directory to the TEMPLATE_DIRS.

Using loader django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader:
