Should I write index.html next to the "welcome to my website"?

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

<body>

<script> "Welcome to my Site"

You still need some code to output your string.

Unlike HTML, you can't just put a string in JavasScript and have it appear on the page. You'll need to pass that string to the document.write function.

Also, challenges can be very picky about outputs, including capitalization. You might need to change your string to be like the one in the instructions.
