It keeps saying "it looks like task one is no longer passing," and therefore isn't allowing me to continue.

Task one was to assign my name to the "name" variable. I am unable to continue with the .format task because of this.

strings.py 
name = "Hunter"
subject = .format("Treehouse loves {}")

You need to use the format method on the string. The bit that goes inside of format's () is the variable that you are filling in the {} with.

name = "Hunter"
subject = "Treehouse loves {}".format(name)
