I've tried this with and without quotes, extra space, Caps/no Caps...It compiles and looks to me to be what they are asking for...?
package com.example;
import java.util.Date;
import java.io.*;
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;
}
@Override
public String toString(){
return "\"Blogpost: " + mTitle.toUpperCase() + " by " + mAuthor.toUpperCase() + "\"";
}
public String getAuthor() {
return mAuthor;
}
public String getTitle() {
return mTitle;
}
public String getBody() {
return mBody;
}
public String getCategory() {
return mCategory;
}
public Date getCreationDate() {
return mCreationDate;
}
}

11,971 PointsHi, I want ahead and opened the challenge. I copied and pasted your code to see what was wrong.
The only differences that I had to change was that I removed the ".toUpperCase()" methods, and capitalized the 'P' in the blog post word.
Example: "blogpost: " was changed to "blogPost: "
Here is code of the override method that was accepted for me.
Hope this helps.
@Override
public String toString(){
return "\"BlogPost: " + mTitle + " by " + mAuthor + "\"";
}
