Error in Blog Post Reader

I'm stuck on the task: Add a new String member variable to the DummyItem class named ‘director’.I get a compliation error, but I don't see what is wrong. Compilation Error! The 'director' member variable should be a public String variable inside the DummyItem class, like 'id' and 'content'. Is there a section that has the correct answer so I can compare? Thanks!

public static class DummyItem {
    public String id;
    public String content;

Just make a third declaration like those two right below, except with the variable being called 'director'.

I found my mistake! DO ONLY WHAT IS INSTRUCTED, NOTHING MORE

public static class DummyItem { public String id; public String content; public String director;

.....But then I added to the constructor too. I guess I did more than asked, which gave me the error. Thanks for the feedback Hubert!
