After that, I checked the actual code challenge description. Basically, you should create a "getAllAuthors" method in the "Blog" class, which handles "BlogPost" objects. But you, instead, tried to do this the other way around. You tried to put it into the "BlogPost" class, and tried to handle "Blog" objects.
I hope this helps. If you still struggle, feel free to ask further questions. If I might not notice, contact me here: http://facebook.com/puklibalazs

Error says: " Bummer! You should be using a Generic type, specifically Set<String>. You returned a java.util.Set"
Instruction says.. returns a java.util.Set

public Set<String> getAllAuthors() {......etc
