Hey Mike,

I think i understand what you are trying to achieve now. You can basically name your urls and then call the url template tag in the templates with the url name as follows, this way you will not break any urls in your template if you simply move your app to a new location.

Example:

#zetawrite account urls

urlpatterns += patterns('zetawrite.views',
    url(r'^zetawrite/account/signup/$', 'account_signup', name='account_signup'),
    url(r'^zetawrite/account/profile/$', 'account_profile', name='account_profile'),    
    url(r'^zetawrite/account/settings/$', 'account_settings', name='account_settings'),
)

Then use the url template tag as follows:

for an anchor tag like <a href="/account/profile">Profile</a>

use <a href="{% url account_profile %}">Profile</a>

Hope this helps.
