You should def. read those articles. A quick fix (if you're in a time
crunch) is to add this to your base urls.py inserting the proper values:
if settings.DEBUG:
urlpatterns += patterns('',
(r'^my_sites_media_folder/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root': '/path/to/my/media/folder'}),
)
which would allow you to go to
http://localhost:8000/my_sites_media_folder/ and serve static files
out of /path/to/my/media/folder.
again.. you should still read the articles to figure out WHY this works.
