Hey King,

You can write to the web page via the use of document.write, such as:

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

king,

The challenge asks you to do the following:

Add code inside the <script> tags to write the words "Welcome to my site" onto the web page.

What have you tried so far? The Bummer error message should give you a clue also.
