By now I suppose you've read the
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/howto/static-files/#basic-usage
basic usage guide for static files] and you've figured out how it works.
You're far from being the first person to struggle with static files.
That's mainly because the concept isn't trivial — it allows post
processing and shipping static files in pluggable apps, which isn't
possible with a standard serve-this-directory setup — but we can try to
improve the situation with better docs. That's the topic of ticket #19582.
