You will find a very good introduction to writing within the document at this link https://teamtreehouse.com/library/javascript-basics/introducing-javascript/your-first-javascript-program-2 at 2:00 minutes.

In later courses you will find that on the DOM tree the document is the base of the tree that branches off into body, divs, and so forth. Thats why the answer to the command includes the object "document" and a method to write within it.

The answer here is obviously: document.write("Welcome to my site");

Happy learning.
