Description

Working through the tutorials, I got stuck for a while in this section:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/intro/tutorial03/#write-your-first-view

Where it asks you to create mysite/urls.py I made the mistake of creating it at the top level of mysite rather than in mysite/mysite/urls.py this led to lots of 404 errors and head scratching.

For a novice like me, it was not clear which mysite directory to put the file in. Please consider making it a little more explicit

thanks.

In the development version of the documentation, we've added headers with file names on each code block. I think this should help clarify things.
