Lost in java data structures packages task

Have tried many different ways and nothings worked. Don't know what I'm doing wrong and keep getting a java.util.MissingFormat error.

com/example/BlogPost.java 
package com.example;
public class BlogPost {
}
Display.java 
import java.util.Formatter;
import com.example.BlogPost;

public class Display {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    BlogPost blogPost = new BlogPost();
    System.out.printf("This is a blog post: %s");

  }
}

You need to add what the specifier %s is going to display, in this case the instance of BlogPost.

  System.out.printf("This is a blog post: %s", blogPost);

Hope this help.
