not terribly sure what is wrong here, keep getting an error stating getPosts() is not found.

Just remove the .getPosts() and it should work:
for(BlogPost holdPost: mPosts){

64,262 PointsgetPosts() is a method on the Blog class, and you're trying to call it on mPosts, which is a List. Even if you could make the method work on any List, it is still just returning mPosts, which doesn't make sense because you've already got access to the variable mPosts within the class - your code should be fine if you remove the call to getPosts().
Hope that helps!
