Re: solution to static file loading issue on 1.8

Hi, 

I'd love to understand why, exactly, it did make a difference.  All I know 
for sure is that after four hours of trying various possibilities,  this is 
what removed the error. 

Thanks!

Hi Becka,

You've provided the default value for STATICFILES_FINDERS so putting that 
in your settings shouldn't make a difference. An example of 
STATICFILES_DIRS is given at:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/howto/static-files/

If you have a suggestion about how to improve the docs that would be 
welcome.
