Hello. In this challenge I am supposed to add two more members to my_list, but none of the methods I have tried are working. What do I do to fix my code?
my_list = [1,2,3,"Red","Blue"]
my_list.extend("ab")

I think you maybe misread the instructions. You are to add another list with 2 items in it to the list created with the first line, so there will be a list inside of a list, but right now you are just adding one object (the string "ab").
You're on the right track, but extend() isn't the method you want to use, as the instructions want the actual list added, not the iterables in the list. So, you'll want to use append(). Have a quick look at this post about the difference between the two methods.
So, just modify the second line to use append() and then pass in a list with 2 items as the arguments.
Keep it up! :)
