Can't load CSS to my django local website

I am running through django tutorial on book "Try Django". Everything was ok until CSS chapter. I have created basic site and now I want to change some colors but I am unable to do it.

Django 1.10. I have created directory in my app 'static' and inside is file 'style.css' with some basic instruction to change color of h1 text.

Inside settings.py I have: 'django.contrib.staticfiles' and my app installed, Debug is True, STATIC_URL = '/static/'

html of site: http://pastebin.com/PBhZieRe

Unfortunately h1 text is still black. I tried to read through documentation on https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/howto/static-files/ but everything looks ok there. When I simply type url 127.0.0.1:8000/static/style.css in my command line I get 304 code.

Need some advice on that.

Regards.

It seems you have forgot to mention path for your static folder in the settings.py file.What you have to do is just put a line :

STATIC_ROOT=os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'static')

in your settings.py file and then your static files will load.
