11,110 PointsHi, as Questiontell use Implements :) so you need implement Comparable Interface and there is no reason put @Override to complareTo method yet :) why ? because your method doesnt do anything just returning 1, but in future when you done your method it should be there :)
classs ... implements Comparable {
}

At the top of the class you need to implement the Interface. All you need is where you declared your class {public class BlogPost} add in {implements Comparable}. Ez breezy.

11,110 Pointsi m so sorry to telling this but this WORKS, tryed it in this challange and it works perfect, so problem is you and you HAVE to go true Course again because i think you dont underestend INTERFACE concept :) and Comparable, why ? because soon you will use for example SORTABLE, so you neeed underestend this
just my opinion ( never go next if you dont underestend! it can takes mounths but its Okey just ask someone who know whot is it and can explain to you if this course is not enought ) - i dont taked this course here because i already know it so i m not sure if its good explained :/
