I think the compiler must have had a glitch; your code works fine for me. Try it again.

57,712 PointsI don't understand this ... here's my code that passes:
package com.example;
public class BlogPost{
}
import com.example.BlogPost;
public class Display {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Your code here...
BlogPost post = new BlogPost();
System.out.printf("This is a blog post: %s", post);
}
}
I've tried your code too, and it worked fine. Let me see if I can replicate the issue you're seeing. Maybe the spacing around post = new is to blame.

57,712 PointsI have replicated your error ... no to fix it! (And it isn't the spacing).
