Thanks for the pointer Milan...much to my surprise, pointing my browser at http://localhost/media/style.css showed the contents of my CSS file.
In the last post, by "seeing the same behavior", I meant that there was no 404 error, only a blank page...no output from the template and no stylesheet applied. Based on the CSS file being displayed properly, I guess I'll start looking there. The contents of my base.html template is: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http:// www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";> <head> <title>{% block title %}{% endblock %}</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="English" /> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/media/style.css" media="screen" /> </head> <body> <div id="wrap"> <div id="top"></div> <div id="content"> <div class="header"> <h1><a href="#">Foo</a></h1> <h2>Bar</h2> </div> <div class="breadcrumbs"> </div> <div class="middle"> {% block content %} {% endblock %} <div class="right"> {% block sidebar %} {% endblock %} </div> <div id="clear"></div> </div> <div id="bottom"></div> </div> <div id="footer"> </div> </body> </html> and the contents of the child template (contact.html) are below: {% extends "base.html" %} {% block title %} - Contact Us {% endblock %} {% block content %} <p>some content...please show up</p> {% endblock %} Am I correct in my understanding that this is no longer a configuration issue and I should start looking around for problems with my templates? Thanks again to everyone that has helped me so far. I'm eager to become more comfortable with Django so that I can hopefully provide help here as well.
