In the blog reader app the status bar covers up part of the top cell and when I scroll it covers other cells it is transparent so you can see the text from both the tableViewCell and the status bar show on top of each other and it doesn't look well is there any thing I can do

Treehouse Guest TeacherYou can add a table header view which will create some space between the top edge of the screen and the table view.
Add the following code to your viewDidLoad method:
self.tableView.tableHeaderView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.size.width, 30)];
