A little detail, but you never know: you should put some ' ' in your link.
Like this :
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href='{{ STATIC_
URL }}stylesheet.css' />
If there are spaces in your path, this could cause the lookup to fail.
And even if that's not the case, don't rely on the user's browser to fix
coding mistakes.
