serving static files

I admit that I am not so sure about how regular expressions work, I
need to spend some time on these.

I was trying to follow http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/howto/static-files/

I did everything that the page said to no avail, in the end I changed

(r'^site_media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root': '/path/to/media'}),

to

(r'site_media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root': '/path/to/media'}),

i mean i removed starting ^ in hope that the regular expression will
ignore if something is extra in the start and it worked.

Can somebody explain to point to somewhere that explains?
