No error but no CSS changes visible

Here's a snapshot of my Terminal (I'm running this in my local env :) where there seems to be some chatter about static stuff!

[06/Nov/2017 15:14:06] "GET /static/admin/css/base.css HTTP/1.1" 304 0

Unfortunately my Welcome! view is still hugging the left border. Is this this info needed to answer this question?

[06/Nov/2017 15:14:06] "GET /static/admin/css/base.css HTTP/1.1" 304 0 returns 304 as a code which says it has not been changed since last cashed. Maybe that is it?

if you view the source can you get to the CSS, like is it referenced in the HTML?

So when I viewed the source code in my browser no CSS was referenced despite the fact that I've saved all CSS additions in Spyder. This prompted me to review my script and wouldn't you know I was missing the line <link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'css.layout.css' %}">. Thanks so much Keith Whatling ! Onward!!
