  <title>JavaScript Basics</title>
</head>
<body>
  <script src="shout.js";>
    alert('I DID IT');
  </script>

You should not have a semi-colon after the ending quotation inside your opening script tag. You can remove the semi-colon and get rid of the alert() message in your .html file, then move it over to the .js file.

Hope that helps!
