Django: Overrideing base_site.html

Folks, I tried following steps in the Django Tutorial for customizing the admin template. I followed the steps to the letter, creating a directory structure as follows: ``` - myproject/ - myproject/ - templates/ - admin/ - base_site.html - myapp1/ - manage.py ``` I edited base_site.html to change text "Django site admin" to "My site admin". I edited myproject/settings.py to add: ``` TEMPLATE_DIRS = [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')] ``` Upon running this, my changes to base_site.html did not take effect. I then followed the advise on this post and created the following directory structure: ``` - myproject/ - myproject/ - templates/ - admin/ - base_site.html - myapp1/ - manage.py ``` And added the following to my settings.py file: ``` TEMPLATE_DIRS = (os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'..', 'mytemplates'),) TEMPLATE_LOADERS = ( 'django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader', 'django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader', ) ``` I am still greeted by "Django administration" when I visit the admin page. What am I doing wrong?
