Exception error when running BlogReader App after creation of AsyncTask

After completing the video, when I run the BlogReader app, it catches an exception and does not even get far enough in the code to display a "responseCode". Here is my code and logCat, let me know what I'm missing please! Hopefully it's something simple =]

MainListActivity Class

public class MainListActivity extends ListActivity {

    protected String[] mBlogPostTitles;
    public static final int NUMBER_OF_POSTS = 20;
    public static final String TAG = MainListActivity.class.getSimpleName();

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main_list);

        GetBlogPostsTask getBlogPostsTask = new GetBlogPostsTask();
        getBlogPostsTask.execute();
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main_list, menu);
        return true;
    }

    private class GetBlogPostsTask extends AsyncTask<Object, Void, String> {
        @Override
        protected String doInBackground(Object... arg0) {

            int responseCode = -1;

            try {
                URL blogFeedUrl = new URL("http://blog.teamtreehouse.com/api/get_recent_summary/?count=" + NUMBER_OF_POSTS);
                HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) blogFeedUrl.openConnection();
                connection.connect();

                responseCode = connection.getResponseCode();
                Log.i(TAG, "Code: " + responseCode);
            }
            catch (MalformedURLException e){
                Log.e(TAG, "Exception Caught", e);
            }
            catch (IOException e){
                Log.e(TAG, "Exception Caught", e);
            }
            catch (Exception e){
                Log.e(TAG, "Exception Caught", e);
            }

            return "Code: " + responseCode;
        }
    }
}
