blogReader is overlapping Network, signal level, time border

it appears everything is correct in the storyboard, but for some reason the blog text is on top of the normal iPhone details at the top of the screen (time, carrier...etc), what should I look at to fix this issue?

I'm running into this problem too, and I believe its to do with the changes in iOS since this lesson was published. The examples even show the old iOS 6 style of UITableView. Apparently it is now up to the View to handle this bar, and you can either instruct your app not to display the bar at all, or implement something to offset the view to end below the status bar. See this StackOverflow discussion that goes into more detail.

I feel like there should be an easier way outside of using a header (like the one that shows up if you allow editing of cells) but I haven't found one yet.

thanks Chris, I think I figured out how to make it work. You need to embed a navigation view controller, which is incorporated into the 2nd lesson in opening a webpage for the blogpost tutorial. I think the navigation pane actually automatically structures what you are viewing not to conflict with anything. If you had just used the blog reader we built from the master-detailview template instead of building from scratch this problem never would have occurred.
