I've put the CSS file under static folder. I tried changing the source in the link to '../blog.css'.
I'm confident that the problem doesn't lie in the settings file because I tried some of my old project's html and CSS content and it works then.

I believe your file structure should be blog/static/blog/css/blog.css. You tag would look like 

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

Since i can't explain it any better here is an excerpt from the django website on how static files are found:

"Just like templates, we might be able to get away with putting our static files directly in polls/static (rather than creating another polls subdirectory), but it would actually be a bad idea. Django will choose the first static file it finds whose name matches, and if you had a static file with the same name in a different application, Django would be unable to distinguish between them. We need to be able to point Django at the right one, and the easiest way to ensure this is by namespacing them. That is, by putting those static files inside another directory named for the application itself. "

Essentially this is likely to be due to if you're using production settings.py in local development, or local development settings.py in production.

Local development:

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

STATICFILES_DIRS = [
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'/static/'),
]

Production:

STATIC_URL = '/static/'

STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'/static/')

If this is not the cause of your issues - add you .css files possibly might not be linked in your base.html file.

You can do so with something like this:

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

Hopefully this helps! :)

You could try {% load staticfiles %} instead {% load static %} I have had issues like yours before linking my static URL to HTML using {% load static %}. but once I did the static files everything ran smoothly.

I had the same issue today. Erased the !DOCTYPE HTML default by sublime text 3 and issue solved.

I was also facing the same issue. And tried all the ways mentioned here but none worked. In my case the solution was adding the exact lines in Settings.py file

STATICFILES_DIRS = [
    BASE_DIR / "static",
]

Make sure you always add type="text/css" in your css link since django first checks for the file type before it runs.

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