Hi,

This one comes up a lot. It's confusing because {% block title %} is the _html_ <title>, the title of the browser tab.

You want to change {% block branding %}.

Hmmm, that is one of the directories I tried, C:\Python34\Scripts\mysite\templates\admin with the file base_site.html

You might need to make for admin

mysite/templates/admin/base_site.html

for regular html files for the polls only

mysite/polls/templates/polls/index.html

That is how I got it to work.  Good luck!!!

Bottom of part 2 of the the tutorial https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/intro/tutorial02/ it indicates how to customize the admin template but when I follow the directions it doesn't show any change in my browser.  I've restarted the development server and refreshed my browser.

File Snip base_site.html:

{% block title %}{{ title }} | <h1 id="site-name"><a href="{% url 'admin:index' %}">Polls Administration</a></h1> {% endblock %}

File Snip settings.py:

import os

BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(__file__))

# TEMPLATE_DIRS = [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')]

TEMPLATE_DIRS = ['C:\Python34\Scripts\mysite\templates']

I tried the environment path, and hard coding the path.  Since the tutorial didn't indicate the BASE_DIR path I made a copy of the file in each of the following directories:

C:\Python34\Scripts\mysite\templates\admin

C:\Python34\Scripts\mysite\mysite\templates\admin

C:\Python34\Scripts\mysite\polls\templates\admin

Any thoughts on what I might be doing wrong?
