What is the best way to apply CSS to my HTML code?

Question

I have the files stored within my Django project.

My directory structure for templates looks like this:

|base.html
|
|rules
   | 
   |style_base.css

In my base.html file, I link to the stylesheet like this:

<link type="text/css" href="/rules/style_base.css" rel="stylesheet" />

However, when checking with Firebug, I cannot see the CSS being applied.

Firebug displays a message saying 'There are no rules. You can create a rule.'

It also suggests an optional selection at 127.0.0.1:8000/rules/style_base.css.

I prefer not to reference it via URLs but rather use my local directory.

So, how should I properly cite style_base.css?

Eliminate the initial slash to search from the current location.

Using the slash will start searching from the root directory, which may differ from the current location.

To modify your config.ini file, update the following variables:

LOG_LEVEL = 'DEBUG'
DATABASE_NAME = 'my_db'

Then include them in your code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="{{STATIC_URL}}script_main.js"></script>
