Javascript on Python Django, hosted on pythonanywhere

I'm teaching myself Django, and decided to try out some JS functionality. I included a simple text-changing function (from w3schools) in a JS script to try things out. The app is blog, and the JS script lives in blog/static/blog/test.js. There's only one function in there:

function myFunction() {
   document.getElementById("demo-btn").innerHTML = "Text changed.";
}

Which is linked to a button in blog/templates/blog/post_list.html, id="demo-btn".

Website live here: http://andreyito.pythonanywhere.com

It works fine on my localhost, but when I push it to pythonanywhere, nothing happens (clicking on the Click me button is supposed to change the text just above the button.)

This feels like a minor thing that I'm leaving out, but I haven't been able to easily troubleshoot this. Repo here:https://github.com/Don86/djgirls

Your test.js file is not loading in the pythonanywhere hosting:

enter image description here

You can see their documentation on how they work with static files. Also maybe you did not run python manage.py collectstatic which loads the file in the static directory. Please see the documentation for more details. Also you can check how they setup the static files in this documentation.
