Hi, Yes, apparently many people get tripped up on this step. Is this django1.7?
create a blank "blank_site.html". <- I assume you mean create a blank base_site.html? I assume this is with manage.py runserver? (If it's apache/uwsgi/gunicorn, you need to reload the program when changing the setting.) Caching should only be an issue if the cached template loader is installed, which it isn't by default.
