how to use css in django 1.9

[dk]

I am starting with Django 1.9  and  it say that we can have static files  outside the apps,  just for generics for the hole project or inside the apps.

according to the how to, should work  :(

here I uploaded my mini project,

when I put this address the code works  but doesn't really use the css

http://127.0.0.1:8000/my_app/

I also try to put a folder call static inside the app and the css file inside,  but same issue.     what should be the proper way to set up the css?

thanks guys, I appreciate it. =)

 or what would be the best way to "print" the path for static?

When I was starting out it was all quite difficult so I added the
following to my (dev only) settings to reveal where all my directories
were hiding ...

BTW, dbhost below is a list of database host settings

print("\ndev settings")
print(('\nPython: %s' % sys.version[0:3]))
from django import get_version
print(('Django: %s' % get_version()))
print(('Database: %s' % DATABASES['default']['HOST']))
print(('%s' % dbhost[4]))
from datetime import datetime as dtm
ttm = "%s:%02d:%02d" % (dtm.now().hour, dtm.now().minute, dtm.now().second)
print(("%s\n" % ttm))

print(('BASE_DIR = %s %s' % (BASE_DIR, '(project root)')))
print(('SETTINGS_DIR = %s' % SETTINGS_DIR))
print(('MEDIA_ROOT = %s %s' % (MEDIA_ROOT, '(store
uploaded images)')))
print(('MEDIA_URL = <website>%s %s' %
(MEDIA_URL, '(serve uploaded images)')))
print(('STATIC_ROOT = %s %s' % (STATIC_ROOT,
'(collectstatic dest)')))
print(('STATIC_URL = <website>%s %s' %
(STATIC_URL, '(serve css, js etc)')))
for i in enumerate(STATICFILES_DIRS, 1):
print(('STATICFILES_DIRS# %s = %s' % i))
for i in enumerate(TEMPLATE_DIRS, 1):
print(('TEMPLATE_DIRS# %s = %s' % i))

add this to the settings.

STATICFILES_DIRS = (
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static"),
)
