Task one is not longer passing when I go to step two of four in creating strings

When I get to step two is states that Task in code 1 is no longer passing. What did I do wrong.

greeting_list.py 
full_name = "kelly ferrell"
name_list = full_name.split()
print (name_list)

greeting_list = list("Hi, I'm Treehouse")
greeting_list.split()
print(greeting_list)

Hi i recently did this part myself and had a little problems to, I'll explain using how i finished it as an example. As i saw it it is not asking for "print" to be used it just wants the string, but is just asking for "Hi, I'm Treehouse" to be split.

The easiest way i found is:

greeting_list = ("Hi, I'm Treehouse").split()

This (as far as i can tell) makes greeting_list equal ("Hi, I'm Treehouse") split up as its has a .spilt() after it.

Your whole code up to this point should look (somthing) like this:

full_name = "kelly ferrell"
name_list = full_name.split()
greeting_list = ("Hi, I'm Treehouse").split()

PS: I hope this helps and does not come across as rude, im only learning myself at the moment.
