In the linked picture you can see the path to the css folder ,i tried to open the server . The html code works . But the css doesn't work . I think the problem is in the path . If yes , how to correct it ? I have no idea

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>

In django, you can manage static files by using {% static %}.

For using this, you have to set few things

make sure django.contrib.staticfiles is included in INSTALLED_APPS
Define STATIC_URL in settings.py
In template, use static template tag. ({% load static %})
load your static using {% static %}. i.e. {% static 'path/to/example.jpg' %}

Django official docs well explain about this. please check here

but thats not an image , i want to load css ! is this the same way for css ? – user83869 Jun 05 '18 at 06:06
Of course. That's how django manage static files - including css, js. Just add your css file in your `static` directory, (i.e. `static/css/style.css`) and call it by `{% static 'css/style.css' %}` – seuling Jun 05 '18 at 06:08
For beginner, it's little bit confusing to manage static files. (especially in dev environment.) I recommend read django docs for understanding correctly. – seuling Jun 05 '18 at 06:10
that helped alot – user83869 Jun 05 '18 at 06:16
html files should also be added to the static files ? – user83869 Jun 05 '18 at 06:19
Nope, you just add your `static` files. You can check about static files here(https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28918845/what-exactly-does-serving-static-files-mean-and-should-you-do-it). – seuling Jun 05 '18 at 07:59
