title: DJANGO: CSS not loading adter trying other threads
body: <p>I am having major issues with my css not loading in my Django Project.</p>
  <p>It is just a simple project for now as I have just started and when I tried to recreate my normal website the css will no load.</p>
  <p>I am using render() to load the files in the views.py</p>
  <p>Here I have attached some of the files that I think are important - please request others if needed</p>
