I started with a django app and tried displaying an image in the home page. But the image is not getting displayed.

My settings.py:

MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR,"media")
MEDIA_URL = "/media/"

My urls.py:

urlpatterns = patterns('',
# Examples:
# url(r'^$', 'myapp.views.home', name='home'),
# url(r'^blog/', include('blog.urls')),

url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
url(r'',include('users.urls')),
) 

urlpatterns += staticfiles_urlpatterns()
urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)

My home.html:

<html>
    <head>
            <title>MY SITE</title>
    </head>
    <body>
            <img src="/media/image/myimage.jpg" alt="my image"/>
            Welcome to my site
    </body> 
</html>

I get the text my image displayed instead of the image

I had been struggling with the issue for like an entire day yesterday... I finally gave up and moved on creating my site without worrying about the images. Then today I decided to check the responsiveness of the site. I found out that my URLs were okay since I had strictly been following the documentation and best practices. The chrome console was saying:

Failed to load resource: net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT

The issue was with HTTP Referral Policy. Check them out. So after doing some research, this helped a lot, I found out that AdBlock was blocking my referred images. Apparently, my /media/ path was flagged in one of their regex patterns, deciding that my images were redirections to Ads. The ironic thing is that my website is about ads... so it must have heavily factored in, as my site has words like 'ad' in its url patterns. Long story short, I disabled AdBlock and my images now render. So I think it might be worth considering that even with best practices in your Django code, such an error could be caused by something with your browser!
