DJANGO PAGES.... how do you have a home.html as a template? ITS NOT WORKING

Hmm can you show the tutorial?

So this method assumes that you don't have a dedicated view function for this HTML file. This only makes sense for pages where no context is needed. Eg 'static' pages. If your 'home' page isn't static you'll need to create a view function, and then call that function.

For a page that is not static, I call it this way:

urlpatterns = [
    # Main Views
    url(regex=r"^popular$", view=views.PopularThreadListView.as_view(), 
name="thread_popular"),

And then in the App, I have a views.py that has a 'view' like this:
class PopularThreadListView(ListView):
"""A basic ListView """

model = Thread
paginate_by = 5
context_object_name = "threads"

def get_context_data(self, *args, **kwargs):
    context = super().get_context_data(*args, **kwargs)
    return context

# Return the top most viewed recent Threads.
def get_queryset(self, **kwargs):
    return Thread.objects.get_popular()
