First Model

The challege wants me to create a model named Article that has a headline attribute. Article.headline should be a CharField with a max_length of 255.

articles/models.py 
from django.db import models

# Create your models here
class Article(models.Model):
    Article.headline = models.CharField(max_length=225)

Hi Manuel,

The attribute needs to be named headline.

The reason the challenge mentions Article.headline is because it is demonstrating how you would access this attribute outside of the model class definition. But you won't be doing that in this challenge.

Also, it needs to be a CharField of length 255, not 225.

Good luck.
