Django: Wish to have my css file located in my project instead of an app

I want to save my style.css file in the main project folder (for my project in django that is) under either /static/ or /templates/ but I cannot seem to load it properly. I use:

{% load staticfiles %}
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% static '/style.css' %}" \>

This css file is suppose to be loaded with my /templates/base.html site (stored in the main project folder).

Thanks, Matt

Loading of static files from templates directory is a bad idea - source of your templates will be available to web user.

To load files from static/ directory add the STATICFILES_DIRS to your settings.py:

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

And BTW remove the first slash in the {% static %} tag:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% static 'style.css' %}" \>
