java data structures, blogpost code challenge

I think my code is correct, but I get this error message, which doesn't make sense to me: 'Make sure you follow the instructions. Received '"Blog Post: Check this out! by Craig Dennis"' does that match what was requested?'

com/example/BlogPost.java
package com.example;

import java.util.Date;

public class BlogPost {
    private String mAuthor;
    private String mTitle;
    private String mBody;
    private String mCategory;
    private Date mCreationDate;

    public BlogPost(String author, String title, String body, String category, Date creationDate) {
      mAuthor = author;
      mTitle = title;
      mBody = body;
      mCategory = category;
      mCreationDate = creationDate;
    }
    @Override
    public String toString() {
    return String.format("\"Blog Post: %s by %s\"", mTitle, mAuthor);
    }
    public String getAuthor() {
      return mAuthor;
    }

    public String getTitle() {
      return mTitle;
    }

    public String getBody() {
      return mBody;
    }

    public String getCategory() {
      return mCategory;
    }

    public Date getCreationDate() {
      return mCreationDate;
    }
}

Took me a while to figure this one out. You want BlogPost and not Blog Post :)
