Hi there! You did terrific on the first step, but I feel like there might be a misunderstanding on the second step. The challenge never asks you to create a second variable. Instead it wants you to select the element with the class "profile-name" and change the text to match what is now stored in your newName variable.

Take a look:

$('.profile-name').text(newName);

This selects the element with the class "profile-name" and then changes the text to the string now stored in newName.

:bulb: On a side note, I see that you've asked this same question several times fairly short succession. Remember that you are posting to your fellow students. Many of us love to help out when/if we can. That being said, we live all over the world and in different time zones. A little patience goes a long way :smiley:
