Hi Rashell

You need to write your code - document.write("Welcome to my site") - inside the script tag:

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

<body>
</body>

<script>
document.write("Welcome to my site");
</script>

</html>
