Thank you for your input guys.
Sadly, i had already checked it Carlos and have my templates for polls
under:
/home/my_user/Webdev/Templates/polls
In this case my template dir is set up as:
/home/my_user/Webdev/Templates/
Should i create another polls dir under templates
(/home/my_user/Webdev/Templates/polls/polls) considering in the error
message i get 'polls/poll_list.html' , besides 'index.html'? This seems
redundant and i'd like to understand why i would have to.
Thanks again for your help.
