Can anyone check my code? Can't get it to work

Here is the error output I get when submitting my code: 

JavaTester.java:69: error: illegal start of expression
      package com.example;
      ^
JavaTester.java:69: error: not a statement
      package com.example;
                 ^
JavaTester.java:71: error: illegal start of expression
import java.util.Date;
^
JavaTester.java:71: error: not a statement
import java.util.Date;
                ^
JavaTester.java:73: error: illegal start of expression
public class BlogPost {
^
5 errors

This is the code I entered at the end of the class: 

  @Override
  public String toString(){
    return "Blogpost: " + mTitle + " by " + mAuthor;
  }

Hi Rajbie,

Your code does seem to be correct... :thumbsup:

But, there have been some issues with the Java challenges and the Code Checker engines. I'm sure the Support Team is working hard to fix the problem.

For the time being, I suggest continuing on with the course (if you'd like) by navigating over the challenge using the buttons in the progress bar above the video window.

Just make sure you come back later to complete the challenge so you receive full credit and the badge for the course. Hopefully everything gets up and going smoothly soon.

Keep Coding! :) :dizzy:
