716 PointsI am completely stuck on task 2. When I complete it as it makes sense to me I get "task number one is no longer passing
Is the problem with task one? I thought just by virtue of making the string a list it splits on whitespace. If I apply the split function to my list variable I also get an error. I just can't figure out where my problem is here.

The error you're experiencing is caused by the extra code you added for task two causing an error of its own. The reason why that would make Task 1 fail is that the website is checking for the result of Task 1, and it gets an error response; it's not so much that Task 1 is now wrong, as much as that the code for Task 2 is wrong and is causing an error.
You can fire up Workspaces and run your code to see what the error is specifically; however, task 2 is looking for:
greeting_list = "Hi, I'm Treehouse".split()

716 PointsThank you, Evan. I swear I had tried that exact line during my many previous attempts, but it worked!

I also just tried that question, there seems to be an error somewhere. From what I believe this should be the correct answer for part 1, however it is not accepted.
full_name = "Jan Müller"
name_list = full_name.split( )

64,262 PointsHi Jan, your code isn't passing because the test doesn't accept the character "ü". I've reported the issue, but you can pass in the meanwhile by replacing it with a "u".
Edit: Also, you don't need to define a space in your split() method, as the method assumes you want to split on spaces by default.

716 PointsThanks, Jan. I'm just getting started here and I really did think I was smart enough to learn this, but I have been stuck on this task for two days. I cannot get task one AND task two to work. Task one passes and task two does not or vice versa. Maybe someone else will try and either verify there is an error or explain what is happening.
