    Well everything is fine, the trouble that you are having is that
    you are confused, just naming a block in base does not calls it.
    Mark the difference between extends and include.
    You have counfused extends to include.

    Once in your views if you call say index.html it will be rendered properly.
    The effect you want can be achieved by changing the base.html in your views to index.html.

    Hope this helps. more can be read here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/templates/#template-inheritance
