(not the greatest best practice)

Or are you keeping this project directory structure somewhere else on your production server, and only making a copy (or symlink) of the "/static" directory underneath your document root?

I'm a just little fuzzy on how the translation from MEDIA_ROOT to MEDIA_URL works out. Can you please elaborate?
