Hi, looks fine.
yes, show your views.py and you can also hardcode the STATIC_URL in the template to see if the path: src=“/static/stylesheet.css” works. or simply open http://127.0.0.1:8000/static/stylesheet.css in your browser. Again: Where is that CSS file on your disk? On Nov 23, 2011, at 2:46 , Guillaume Chorn wrote: > Sorry, I think I made something confusing.
