Good news, my static files finally work. (I wanted to make
one last try before giving up). Bottom line, I did not
have to make any changes to my original settings.py or urls.py.
All I did: created a static dir. under my app's directory, placed
the css files under it, and put '/static/css/blueprint/screen.css' to
refer to the external css. That was it.
Here is the head section of my template file, list.html:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/static/css/blueprint/screen.css"
type="text/css" media="screen, projection">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/static/css/blueprint/print.css"
type="text/css" media="print">
<!--[if lt IE 8]>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/static/css/blueprint/ie.css"
type="text/css" media="screen, projection">
<![endif]-->
Thanks
