Django Templates Part 2 Templates - base_site.html changes not reflected

I am trying to follow the Django tutorial part 2 and am stuck with the last part about templates. The problem I am facing is that I am changing base_site.html

and no changes are reflected in my site. I am using Python 3.4

In the tutorial, I created this file structure with a "templates" folder in the same directory as manage.py.

• Textbook
  • Textbook
  • interrogates
  • Templates
    • admin
      • base_site.html
  • manage.py

Then I changed DIRS TEMPLATES 'to [os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'templates')]

settings.py:

BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
...
INSTALLED_APPS = (
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
'polls'
)

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',
'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
'django.contrib.auth.middleware.SessionAuthenticationMiddleware',
'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware',
'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware',
'django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware',
)

ROOT_URLCONF = 'Tutorial.urls'
print(os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates'))
TEMPLATES = [
{
'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')],
'APP_DIRS': True,
'OPTIONS': {
'context_processors': [
'django.template.context_processors.debug',
'django.template.context_processors.request',
'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
],
},
},
]

      

        
        
        
      

    

Then I changed base_site.html like this:

{% extends "admin/base.html" %}

{% block title %}{{ title }} | {{ site_title|default:_('My Admin Title') 
{% endblock %}

{% block branding %}
<h1 id="site-name"><a href="{% url 'admin:index' %}">{{ site_header|default:_('My Admin Header') }}</a></h1>
{% endblock %}

{% block nav-global %}{% endblock %}

      

        
        
        
      

    

Finally, I went to my site at:

http://localhost:8000/admin/

      

        
        
        
      

    

However, the title "Site Administration" still greeted me.

I checked the directory it was looking at (the print () line in settings.py) and the directory looks correct:

/home/<user>/Documents/DjangoProjects/Tutorial/templates

      

        
        
        
      

    

I've already checked this thread and others but didn't find anything useful. I believe I followed the tee tutorial, can any of you please help me understand how am I misinterpreting the tutorial? Or is it a documentation error?
