We've now got a sane template structure. webtemplates/base.html is the parent of all pages. index.html in that directory is the default page, and sub-directories from there will hold the templates for various applications. Notice how in index.html and the file in the news directory are put together. It's really simple, see the Template documentation on djangoproject.com for more in-depth details.
