I am trying to run a site on Django development server but my css don't load. When I open dev tools in Chrome I see in network that css is loaded as text/plain and not as text/css.My link is good,because when I open it,it opens my css file.And my admin site don't have css also,and that can't be my mistake because I didn't do anything with it! As soon as I change something in css in dev tools css starts working but as soon as I reload the page it is gone!

You may have an error in your css file if the link isn't 404ring when you look at your console or the chrome tab...

somecallitblues didn't say that it's 404 error, he said that you could have an error (some typo) in your base.css... perhaps you should check it with some css validator.

Sorry,I didn't understand him :) 
I check css with css validator and it didn't find any errors.It is simple css file,just to check if everithing is working.
I don't understand why css is not recognised as text/css,but as text/plain.
Thank you for your answer...

Vadims Briksins seems to have had the same problem in Django 1.6.4. You could contact him and ask him if and how he resolved it.

Thank you very much,Vadims helped me.
The problem wasn't related to the Django,I installed NuSphere and it changed values in os registry.
In regedit.exe I changed all css to text/css,restarted PC and css is now working fine...
Here is registry fix,if someone who is having this type of problem don't want to change registry manualy:
