Ahhhhh. The missing piece to bring order to all of this confusion on my part. I was using "myapp/index.html", per Tutorial 3's example. Obviously (now), this is what was allowing my index.html to be found when using TEMPLATE_DIRS = ('/myproject',) ... and also what was causing the app to expect to find "base.html" in /myproject and not /myproject/myapp And my failure to be able to use {% extend "myapp/base.html %} with my TEMPLATE_DIR set as above was because... I had not MOVED IT to myapp. Geez. This all makes perfect sense to me now and I have it working as I wanted it to. Thank you all again for the help. In any event, this isn't magic.
