Bummer did you create the constructor with the author , title ,body,creationDate

i did what it asked for but its not working???

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 void BlogPost(String author,String title,String body,String category,Date creationDate){
    mAuthor = author;
    mTitle = title;
    mBody = body;
    mCategory = category;
    mCreationDate = creationDate;
  }

Hi Mudith

I'm no expert at all but I do know that a constructor should not have a data type assigned to it. Therefore, try leaving out "void" and see if it works. So just write: "public BlogPost" instead of "public void BlogPost".
