You have the correct idea. It is the references that need correcting

  • Use article.title instead of ArticleDetail.title
  • Use article.author instead of ArticleDetail.author
  • Use article.body|linebreaks instead of ArticleDetail.body|linebreaks
  • Use for article in artical_list instead of for article in Article

EDIT: as caught by Tom Nguyen

  • For article_list.html: Use {{ article }} instead of title

Post back if you need more help. Good luck!!
