Formatted date not showing up

Hi guys, I need help on the formatted date topic in the blog reader app. My problem is that I am doing exactly as taught by Amit. in the following video: http://teamtreehouse.com/library/build-a-blog-reader-iphone-app-2/adapting-data-for-display/formatting-dates-with-nsdateformatter-2

My problem is that the date other wise is showing up but when i call the formattedDate method , the date is not showing up instead the (null) is appearing. Otherwise the app is working fine. Please help......

Asked too soon- found my issue. I had my input date format string as @"yyyy-MM-dd HH:MM:SS". The correct string format is @"yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss".
