+Serving static files with the development server:
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+By default, the development server will not be able to serve any static files
+for your site (such as CSS files, images, things under MEDIA_ROOT_URL and so
+forth). If you wish to configure your project to handle static media via the
+development server, read the instructions in the `serving static files`_
+documentation.
