Can't complete the challenge following the Static Assets video. Anyone else having issues with it?

This challenge isn't working for me. I did the same thing from the static assets lesson and it's not accepting the answer. I have sent a email to help @ teamtreehouse, hopefully someone will get back to me.

The question is:

Challenge Task 2 of 2

Now that we have the tag available, we can use it in our <link> tag. Use {% static %} to reference the "css/styles.css" file >in the href attribute of the <link> tag.

The file in the challenge is articles/templates/articles/article_list.html My solution is:

{% load static from staticfiles %}

{% extends 'base.html' %}

{% block static %}
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'css/style.css' %}">
{% endblock %}

{% block content %}
{% for article in articles %}
{{ article.headline }}
{% endfor %}
{% endblock %}

Check your filename. It should be styles with an s.

Oh my, what a dope. Thank you. I was hung up on "can't find static tag" and was thinking it was complaining about the word 'static'. I double/triple checked the spelling of 'static' .
