Hello Everyone- I started learning Django at PyCon in Chicago and have worked most of the way through the "Django Book" and Sams "Teach Yourself Django", as well as "Head First HTML with CSS and XHTML". It's been quite a lot for this old dog, but I'd like to take a crack a writing my own web site using Django. I have two problems, and I think they are related. The first is how to get images in my site and the next is how to use css.
I wrote Jacob about images and he was kind enough to point me to documentation on how to get the web server to "serve" the images. I hate to put it this bluntly, but I don't know what that means (I've been programming database applications for 20 years and all this web stuff is still pretty new to me). Is there something that explains to someone like me how to get images into the site? Though I'm running Django on my Ubuntu laptop, I would like to eventually have it hosted. I would like to know how to "do" images locally, then what I need to do when I host my site. The other problem is getting css to work with my site. I have set up a base.html template (I love the templates, thank-you) and extend it with other templates, call one greg.html. The html generates just as I expect it to (overriding blocks just as it should), but it doesn't "see" the style sheet. One it gets "in" the template I'm OK; the "Head First" book did a pretty good job explaining it. I even put a syntax error in my view so Django would list out the settings, but couldn't find where Django is looking for the css file. I suspect it is a similar problem to the images, but I just don't know.
