Hey Jeff, Yes, these methods would go inside of your Poll Class. I'm not sure if the indentation was messed up through e-mail, but make sure that your method body is indented one step deeper than your method signature. For example: class Poll(...): # def __unicode__(self): ret

Yes, the methods are part of your model class. You almost have it right, and just need to fix your indentations: class Poll(models.Model): question = models.CharField(max_length=200) pub_date = models.DateTimeField('date published') def __unicode__(self): return self.question def was
