The package declaration has to be at the very top of your file, there cannot be anything above it. So you need to swap your import statement and your package statement.

In addition to that you have forgotten to include a private member field for description.

If you fix those two issues like this:

package com.example; // Moved package declaration to top
import java.util.Date;

public class BlogPost {
  private String mAuthor;
  private String mTitle;
  private String mBody;
  private String mDescription; // Added private field member for description
  private Date mCreationDate;

}

Then your code will pass the first task.
