Description

At the end of the Customize your app's look and feel section of Django tutorial 06 the reader is instructed to create a static directory in the polls app and populate it with a stylesheet:

polls/static/polls/style.css

The tutorial then instructs the reader to reload https://localhost:8000/polls/ to see the change in effect.

Since my server was still running at the time, I observed a 404 error:

[31/Oct/2018 21:00:38] "GET /static/polls/style.css HTTP/1.1" 404 1669

The tutorial could be improved if it would hint the reader to restart the server if it is still running.

After restarting the server, I observed:

[31/Oct/2018 21:00:46] "GET /static/polls/style.css HTTP/1.1" 200 99
