title: Django index url confusion
body: <p>Hi thanks for looking into this.</p>
  
  <p>I have been following Django's tutorial on URLs and got a bit confused/stuck on this part:
  <a href="https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/intro/tutorial03/#decoupling-the-urlconfs" rel="nofollow">https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/intro/tutorial03/#decoupling-the-urlconfs</a></p>
  
  <p>what I do not understand is if, say, on page mypage.com I provide only 2 possible URLs for mypage.com/polls and mypage.com/admin, what happens if the user goes to mypage.com? Obviously, I thought, the user will need to see some sort of 'welcome' page so I decided to add another URL to that urls.py:</p>
  
  <pre><code>urlpatterns = patterns('',
   url(r'^/', 'myapp.views.welcome'), #when it's just mysite.com
  
   url(r'^myapp/', include('myapp.urls')), #includes everything with mysite.com/myapp/...
   url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
  )
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But then I get redirected to that welcome view from whichever page, whether i go to /myapp or not. So, I decided to create a views.py file outside myapps folder and put that welcome page there, and it seems to have worked, apart from that I get a 404. </p>
  
  <p>I am so confused! Could you explain in lamers' terms please</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
  blargie-bla</p>
