Hi Daniel Rubio,

It looks like your indentation is a bit off. You need to indent 2 spaces for the scope and values, then 2 more spaces for the variables. Also, don't forget the dashes between each set.

Check out the format of this _config.yml file.

when you say space are referring to the space from the left side of the page or 2 spaces from each other. like returns?
