Yes. If you "View page source" in your browser you should see something
like this ...

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/static/admin/css/base.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="/static/admin/css/dashboard.css" />

So if the stylesheets cannot be found, which web server are you using?

If you are not using the Django dev server, you need to configure your
web server to look for such static files in a particular location
(defined in settings.py as STATIC_ROOT) then run "manage.py
collectstatic" to put them there.
