Not sure what I am doing wrong here, but I'm extending the template with ({% extends "layout.html" %}) but, still wrong

I don't understand why this keeps showing up as being wrong.

code_challenges/templates/code_challenges/layout.html 
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Code Challenge</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div class="page-header">
            <!-- YOUR CODE HERE -->
            {% block content %}  {% endblock %}
        </div> 
    </body>
</html>
code_challenges/templates/code_challenges/list.html 
{% extends "layout.html" %}

You are close. The instructions give the hint (which is in the "code_challenges" directory). This is a clue that the path from the template base directory to the template file is needed. Add "code_challenges" to the "layout.html" string and it should pass.

Note: The challenge was written for Django 1.9. In Django 1.10+, relative inheritance paths were allowed. Since both "layout.html" and "list.html" were in the same directory, "./layout.html" would be acceptable in these later Django versions. As the Treehouse course contents get updated, the challenge will be altered to reflect this change.

Post back if you have more questions. Good luck!!
