title: Setting up django for css file
body: <p>I am a newbie to django and trying to create a personal tech blog. I am hosting on webfaction.  I have setup the blog using <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srHZoj3ASmk" rel="nofollow">this video</a>. But the stylesheets are not working. I followed <a href="http://docs.webfaction.com/software/django/getting-started.html#create-the-django-application" rel="nofollow">the step-by-step procedure</a> to create the static files mentioned by webfaction but still the stlyesheet is not working.</p>
  
  <p>I have created a static application: <code>staticapp</code> and added it to the website with <code>/static</code>
  as mentioned in the webfaction doc. </p>
  
  <p>In <code>settings.py</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>  STATIC_ROOT = 'home/myaccount/webapps/staticapp'
    STATIC_URL = 'http://myblogtest.myaccount.webfactional.com/static'
    STATICFILES_DIRS = ( 'junk','static',)
  
  
  INSTALLED_APPS = (
      'django.contrib.auth',
      'django.contrib.contenttypes',
      'django.contrib.sessions',
      'django.contrib.sites',
      'django.contrib.messages',
      'django.contrib.staticfiles',
       'django.contrib.admin',
       'django.contrib.admindocs',
       'blog',
       )
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am referencing from my html page like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="static/style/style.css" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Am I missing any step? I could see many answers saying to add a code snippet in <code>urls.py</code> but it is not mentioned in Webfaction's doc. So I haven't done that. </p>
  
  <p>I could see many have faced this same problem but the answers are not helping me as I am a newbie. Kindly help me to setup this. :) </p>
