title: including css in Django
body: <p>I'm new to Django, and i'm having hard time including css styles in a template.</p>
  
  <p>I read <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5457737/access-static-url-from-within-a-custom-inclusion-template-tag">this</a> and tried to do the same but it's not working for me.</p>
  
  <p>my Template:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{% load static %}&lt;html&gt;&lt;head&gt;&lt;link href="{% get_static_prefix %}/style.css" rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' /&gt;&lt;/head&gt;&lt;body&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>the HTML i get:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;head&gt;&lt;link href="C:/Users/Nayish/workspace/am/src/am/static/style.css"rel='stylesheet'type='text/css' /&gt;&lt;/head&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Note that this is the folder containing my css.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks, Boris.</p>
