So self refers to the particular instance of that class. So if the class is a subclass of NSObject. When i refer to self within that class i'm referring to NSObject in this case ?

#import "BlogPost.h"
@implementation BlogPost
-(id) initWithTitle:(NSString *)title{
self = [super init];

self.title = title;

8,625 PointsCan you post your BlogPost.h please so we can see the super class. What you are doing seems unclear.

8,625 PointsNo, if you called super you were.
When you call self you are referring to anything within the braces ({ }) for that class.
