You need to instantiate the object outside of the class. Your code should begin after the class, not within it.

Hopefully it's a quick fix from there. You were on the right track.

Hi there,

Two issues - first, as Barry says, move any mention of user1 outside (after) the class.

Also, the date instance is a string too so surround it with quotes.

Steve.
