Follow the instructions - I don't get the mistake

It is written that I should follow the instructions and the text should be "Check this out!by Craig Dennis" but I mean I haven't put a name like "Craig Dennis" into it and im not using the constructor so how should that work? :D

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 "\"Blogpost: " + mTitle + "by" + 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;
    }
}

This challenge is quite fussy - you just need to change the p in BlogPost to uppercase!
