Hey Matthew! You're not dumb you're learning. This may not be the issue but double check that you don't have it as publishedAt(); with the ; in the pug. If all else fails and you're still hung up you can compare your code to Guil's code that can be downloaded. Good Luck!

Same. This issue still is not fixed, and the above suggested post does not help someone as dumb as me. Neither the shortDescription or publishedAt methods work as of this posting.

Weird, I can't do anything with your comment at all. For some reason I can mark mine as the best answer though. Something's strange.
