Finally, please add a getter method for the body. You didn't think I was going to make you type them all out, did you?!

not qute shure whats an issue here have 8 errors poping up solely of the misplacing getter method?

com/example/BlogPost.java 
package com.example;

import java.util.Date;

public class BlogPost {

  private String mAuthor;
  private String mTitle;
  private String mBody;
  private String mCategory;
  private Date mCreationDate;
}
  public BlogPost (String author, String title, String body, String category, Date creationdate)  {
    mAuthor = author;
    mTitle = title;
    mBody = body;
    mCategory = category;
    mCreationDate = creationdate;
  }
public String getBody() 
{
return mBody;
}

This worked for me

package com.example;

import java.util.Date;

public class BlogPost {

  private String mAuthor;
  private String mTitle;
  private String mBody;
  private String mCategory;
  private Date mCreationDate;
} 
  public BlogPost (String author, String title, String body, String category, Date creationdate)  {
    mAuthor = author;
    mTitle = title;
    mBody = body;
    mCategory = category;
    mCreationDate = creationdate;
  }
  public String getBody() {  //Try to indent this line so that it is in the piblic class
     return mBody;  //Try to indent this so that it is in the getter
}  //Hope this helped :)
