Hi David,

First off, when you create a forum thread and people start helping you, keep answering in that thread instead of making a new one for the same problem. That way all answers will be found in the same place when others need help with the same question. You have created 3 threads for 1 problem now ignoring the answers in the earlier ones.

Back to the problem, you need to read the instructions a tad more closely, they ask you to write "Treehouse loves", not "Treehouse". And when you use your variable there is no need to use quote marks, just write name.

Look at this and see if you understand: 

color = "Green"

text = "My favorite color is " + color

I hope that helps :)

You're still using quote marks around your variable name, when using variables you just write the variable names to access your data. If you use quote marks like you do, you're using a String. Look at this:

// String 
"color"

// Variable
color

I hope that helps
