Thanks Mike. 'tinymce' is included in INSTALLED_APPS because I'm using the app located here: https://github.com/aljosa/django-tinymce/ . I saw a few comments around the web that suggested that this was the route to go to easily integrate TinyMCE.
I've made a few adjustments to no avail. The app is installed, the URLs are configred correctly, and I can navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8000/media/js/tiny_mce/tiny_mce.js and view the JS source. Yet, the WYSIWYG still doesn't display. I'm a bit stumped at this point.
