Could you show us the following:
Your staticfiles settings.
The link where your browser fetches the css file (see rendered source head
when browsing) to gets 404'ed.
If you are using a local server, you could try using a STATIC URL of
127.0.0.1:8000/static/.
Note that this will not work if you use runserver on 0.0.0.0, on which case
you should use your local IP address.
On a production server you can do the same, just use your server address.
Finally, you probably did but, have you activated staticfiles in your apps ?
Off Topic: media and static are supposed to be two different things, static
is for your actual static files, and media for user-uploaded files, both
work pretty much the same way, so it's not a fix to use one in place of the
other.
