<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% static 'css/layout.css' %}">

<div class="site-container">
{% block content %}

This is what is on my settings.py about static files
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'assets'),
)

Treehouse Guest TeacherYour STATICFILES_DIRS adds an "assets" directory but your directory is named static.
