I figured this out. Your advice lead me in the right direction, but I
went ahead and configured my urls.py like this:
# For serving static media files (css, js, images)
if settings.DEBUG:
urlpatterns += patterns('',
(r'^content/(.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root': os.path.join(settings.PROJECT_PATH, 'content')}),
)
And set my PROJECT_PATH accordingly in settings.py (/home/me/
project_name). I'm thinking that the (r'^media/(.*)$... url pattern
conflicts with django admin URLs and based on the order of inclusion,
overrides what I had as my pattern for serving static files in my
development environment. Either way, it works now. Thanks Tim!
