Why Compile Time error on package statement?

When I try to submit my code challenge it always shows

JavaTester.java:69: error: illegal start of expression package com.example; ^ JavaTester.java:69: error: not a statement package com.example;

Is it your system failure? I am pretty confident that the code challenge I am going submit is correct?

Oh wow so its just not me, I got the same errors. It seems that the system is glitching out. Uh oh...

Btw, is your code:

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

Cuz thats what I put. I am pretty sure that is correct.
