Ubuntu alias not applied in bashrc

I am under Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
I have added such line to ~/.bashrc

alias myconf="sudo nano /opt/nginx/conf/sites-available/efiling"

I tried with single quotes too:

alias myconf='sudo nano /opt/nginx/conf/sites-available/efiling'

Then I logged out and logged in again.

test@STORK:~$ myconf
myconf: command not found

But after test@STORK:~$ source ~/.bashrc it works.

Can Anyone help me?

I think it should be

alias myconf='sudo nano /opt/nginx/conf/sites-available/efiling'

with single-quotes instead of double-quotes.

You can also use

$ source ~/.bashrc

to load bash.rc without closing the terminal/logging out.
