Hi,

I am new to Python and Django as well as Pythonanywhere.com. I am trying to do some basic stuff on your website but i am now confused to do some basic tasks. please provide some information so i can proceed further in learning.

currently i have setup Django and Python by using your -- Add a new web app -- wizard and have successfully setup Python 3.4 and Django 1.6.6 which is fine for my learning purpose.

now what i am trying to do is that i have made one basic index.html file in this location -- home > khurramarts > seeco > seeco --- which as nothing fancy just a hello world text. now i want to display this text on my given url on http://khurramarts.pythonanywhere.com/ but i couldn't remove the default django welcome screen please guide me how to do this

also please let me know after creating my first app in my case seeco i found few directory and files which are manage.py media/
seeco/settings.py, urls.py, wsgi.py static/

i know that static folder would be used for standalone file like css/ images etc. but i do not know what are manage.py, settings.py, urls.py, wsgi.py files used for and what is media directory for please give guidance in this to me i will be very thankful to you.
