From index.html, blocks of code are used to replaced the corresponding block in the extend template, in this case, layout.html. Any named block layout.html that is also in index.html will be replaced with the index.html content.
So to replace the `{% block link %}{% endblock %} in layout.html, you need the same tags in index.html. In between these tags in index.html add the desired link.
Note the href="" location should not contain text, and the anchored text, in this case Contact, goes between the HTML tags <a href=""> and </a>.
In tasks 1 and 2, the file layout.html does not need to be altered.
Post back if you need more help. Good luck!

Python Development Techdegree Graduate 7,755 PointsChris Freeman This is my revised code:-
{% extends "layout.html" %}
<a>href="">Contact</a>
{% block link %}{% endblock %}
But it still doesn't pass
[MOD: added ```python formatting -cf]

Treehouse Moderator 68,441 PointsVery close! All the bits are there. The line order is incorrect: it should be:
{% extends ...
{% block link...
<a>href=“”...
{% endblock ...
(sorry, partial lines used to prevent cut-and-paste use)

Treehouse Moderator 68,441 PointsAlso note, the challenge checker expects the template tags
{% %}within index.html to be on separate lines.I've flagged this as a bug, but it might be a while before it is fixed.

Treehouse Moderator 68,441 PointsThe checker for this challenge is very picky. Your code is correct for Task 2, but the checker wants:
href=""{% block link %}and{% endblock %}tags needs to be on their own separate lines. That is, there should be four lines of code including theextendsline.
