The script tag is typically where you either link to another JavaScript file (using the src attribute) or write your own JavaScript code in page.

To write the words "Welcome to my site" on your page, you will want to add HTML tags within your body element. Something like this...

<body>
    <h1>
        Welcome to my site.
    </h1>
</body>

Hey Colin,

This specific challenge is asking the user to utilize the write method (This is a JavaScript course).

To write to the document in JavaScript, we use:

document.write("This is an example.");

I'd recommend re-watching the video on writing your first JavaScript program.

use document.write() to print the text onto the page. You will place this within the <script></script> tags.

Hope this helps!
