Why Django doesn't find my template

Can't understand why Django can't find the template.

project/templates/blog/intro.html:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Page Title</title>
</head>
<body>
  {% ifis_admin %}
    <p>{{username}} is an admin!</p>
    {% endif %}
<h1>My First Heading</h1>
<p>My first paragraph.</p>

</body>
</html>

views.py:

from django.shortcuts import render
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response

# Create your views here.
def intro(request):
    render(request, "blog/intro.html")

Error: TemplateDoesNotExist at blog/intro.html

EDIT: Also templates settings. Not sure, but it seems to be all right

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': [],
        'APP_DIRS': True,
        'OPTIONS': {
            'context_processors': [
                'django.template.context_processors.debug',
                'django.template.context_processors.request',
                'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
                'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
            ],
        },
    },
]

You need to set DIRS in your TEMPLATES settings. If the folder is set like you mention at the top. This adds the templates directory as long as it is at the root of the project. Same level as the manage.py.

'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')],
