Thomas and Lokesh,
Thanks very much for your help. I've modified the link in my HTML file to
be:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href={{ STATIC_URL }}stylesheet.css
/>
where "stylesheet" is the name of the CSS file, and this file is located
inside the directory listed under STATIC_DIRS in my settings.py file. As
mentioned in my prior email, I also already have STATIC_URL = '/static/' in
my settings.py file, and I have the correct methods listed under
STATICFILES_FINDERS.
But it is still not working. Do I have a syntax error somewhere? Or am I
still missing something in another file?
thanks,
Guillaume
