Form fields not being displayed Django

I am still learning Django. I have been looking at various tutorials but I am struggling with forms on django framework. The problem is that I am unable to display the form field for email on the base.html page. It is basically a subscription form. I am still new to django. This is what I have made till now.

models.py

from django.db import models
class SubscribeModel(models.Model):
    email = models.CharField(max_length=100)

forms.py

from django import forms
from models import SubscribeModel

class SubscribeForm(forms.ModelForm):

    class Meta:
        model=SubscribeModel

views.py

def loadform(request):
    form = SubscribeForm()
    return render_to_response('base.html', {'form': form},context_instance=RequestContext(request))

base.html

<html>
 ...
 <form action="" method="post">{% csrf_token %}
{{ form.as_p }}
   <input type="submit" value="Subscribe"></ul>
 </form>
 ...
</html>

urls.py

urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^$', 'chsite.blog.views.index'),
url(r'^$', 'chsite.blog.views.loadform'),
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)

You have to define different url patterns as your first two are identical. URL processing stops at first hit, in your case uses index view.

Once you are edited the question, I can see two url(---) reffenceced to the same url. Hence Django will loadd the first one. It means you never load the loadform view. So try removing the line:

url(r'^$', 'chsite.blog.views.index'),

or edit the actual tuple for the loadform for instance:

url(r'^suscribe/$', 'chsite.blog.views.loadform'),

and go to your browser at 127.0.0.1:8000/suscribe/ url.
