Status: VERIFIED FIXED

Description

Links  from the MDN- Django app are hard-coded to  Deki production pages. These links should be relative

This will make testing the site sooo much easier. 

Fred suggested we configure the base url somewhere so we can easily change this as needed in the future.

Right now, clicking on various links on staging still take you to the production pages.  Fixing this will make our stage9 staging server a lot more "fully integrated".

Updating bug title.

Also, just wanted to make sure we think this through... since I don't know if making all links relative will break the URL handlers we are going to put into place for 0.9.2.

Hmmm... that's a good question.  I'm assuming yes, since that will allow us to test creating new accounts.   Otherwise, we'll always be working off the production db, right?

As long as we are confident that the data between prod Deki and stage9 will be in-sync (most of the time), I think that's probably the best way to go.
