Hi Kuda,

You are very close...

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head><title>Hello!</title></head>
<body>
<h1>{{ name }}</h1>
</body>
</html>

from flask import Flask
from flask import render_template
app = Flask(__name__)


@app.route('/hello/<name>')
def hello(name="Treehouse"):
    return render_template("hello.html", name=name)

This is what the challenge is after.
