When I add a doctype to my site, my CSS fails to load. It works fine when there is no doctype.

This is my doctype:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

My CSS location is here:

www.site.com/static/css/main.css

Defined like this:

<link href="/static/css/main.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

I did some googling, but my site pretty much validates, so I cant understand why the entire CSS would refuse to show completely!

Here is a URL: LIVE SITE

I am using latest Google Chrome

    [21:51:53.698] The stylesheet /static/css/main.css was not loaded
    because its MIME type, “text/plain”, is not “text/css”.

    You need to make sure the mime type is text/css.
