Xavier, I followed the blog, and at the end, my css files were not getting pulled in. I then tried doing a ./manage.py collectstatic, and this does collect all static files. Unfortunately, running the server still does not serve my css files.
I have spent too many cycles on this issue now. I will go back to my workaround of just placing css inline in the templates, and later, use Apache on my local machine to serve the css files.
