Re: serve static files

If you're using contrib.staticfiles app, your DEBUG is True and you're using runserver django automagically maps (overrides) your staticfile serving.

If you want to manually add staticfile serving, you have to give --nostatic parameter to runserver to omit all magic that happena automatically.
