Challenge Task 4

I'm not sure on how to set up my code so I can join the greeting list

greeting_list.py 
full_name = "Olivia Yen Chau"
name_list = full_name.split()

greeting_list = str.split("Hi, I'm Treehouse")
greeting_list[2] = name_list[0]

greeting = str.join()

You are using the string class methods as if they were functions. Try it this way instead instead:

greeting_list = "hi, I'm Treehouse".split(',')
greeting_list.append(name_list[0])

I also need to remove greeting_list[2] and I'm not sure on how to do that.
