Hi Emily

You have a few errors here <a href="{% url'articles:detail'pk=article.pk %}">{{ article.headline }}</a>.

  • missing a space after the word 'url'
  • it is 'articles_detail' and not 'articles:detail'
  • missing another space after 'detail'

Here's the correct version:

{% extends 'base.html' %}
{% load static from staticfiles %}

{% block static %}
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'css/styles.css' %}">
{% endblock %}

{% block content %}
{% for article in articles %}
  <a href="{% url 'articles_detail' pk=article.pk %}">{{ article.headline }}</a>
{% endfor %}
{% endblock %}

Hope this helps!
