Your task in the challenge is to "Add code inside the <script> tags to write the words "Welcome to my site" onto the web page.". This is very similar to the example shown in the last video starting about 2 minutes in.

Write the code between the script tage. The Document in JavaScript has useful methods that help you to work with the current page https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document

Hi Alexander,

This is a very straight forward question. I suggest reviewing the video over again.

To give you a hint I would use the Document.write function.
