Thanks Stephen! This helped me conceptualized what I was doing wrong... I modified my urls.py to just do regular django page processing (I was doing direct_to_template)
Now, I launched the website: http://dollfires.com -- I used Mezzanine!!! woohoo! I'll do blog entries about mezzanine later and maybe give free templates... so thanks for building it (definitely user friendly). I was a bit confused initially because I assumed I needed a page_processor.py but turns out that's only if I've already created a "Custom Content Type" that extended the page so it would pass through that instead. Thank you!
