Be sure to put your code between the open and closing "script" tags, and also to use the exact string asked for in the instructions (including capitalization).

Still coming up as error.

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

<body> </body>

<script> // Write your code here.

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

</html>

The code should go between the two tags, not inside either tag.

A good place to add the code is on the blank line directly below the comment that says "// Write your code here."

Thank you. I finally got it!
