Keep Getting that Horrid "Oops It Looks Like..." Error

Hey guys,

So I'm stuck on the 3rd part of the Lists and Strings code challenge, I'm not 100% if my code is wrong or if I am having a connection error to the site, but when I enter in the below code I get the "Oops! It looks like ..." (sorry can't read the rest of the error as this dialog window is in the way".

Is my code all wrong? Or is there a bug in the system?

Thanks

Stu : )

greeting_list.py 
full_name = "Stu Cowley"
name_list = full_name.split(" ")
greeting_list = "Hi, I'm {}".format(full_name[0])

Figured it out with a quick Google search. I thought I'd post my findings for anyone who runs into this issue later one:

full_name = "Stuart William Cowley"
name_list = full_name.split(" ")
greeting_list = "Hi, I'm Treehouse".split(" ")
greeting_list[2] = name_list[0]

I see it that we're replacing the index of 2 in the greeting_list and then replacing it with the index of 0 from the name_list being what ever your first name is. I'm guessing that's what we're doing, and I hope I have worded this correctly.
