Hey there , the problem is that you haven't closed your <head> tag! 

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
  <title>JavaScript Basics</title>
</head>
<body>
  <script src="shout.js"<>/script>
</body>
</html>

compare your code to this corrected version of mine, you'll get it ;)

happy coding
