public class BlogPost {
    private String mAuthor;
    private String mTitle;
    private String mBody;

    private Date mCreationDate;

    public BlogPost(String author, String title, String body, String category, Date creationDate) {
      mAuthor = author;

    }

    public String getTitle() {
      return mTitle;
    }

    }

You're pretty close. When you're concatenating Strings, you should not use the quotation marks if the String is held as a value in another variable, only if you want to concatenate extra characters to a String. Also, remove the first slash, you wont need it here.

Consider the following code:

    @Override
    public String toString() {
     return "BlogPost: " + mTitle + " by " + mAuthor; 
    }

The words "BlogPost" and "by" are not values held in any variables, therefore you should put them inside of quotation marks.
