Template Not Applying - Django Polls Tutorial (Newbie Question)

Windows 8
Django 1.7.1
Python 3.4.2
Google Chrome Version 39.0.2171.95 m

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?
