Hi Simon

You are close, just get rid of the h1 tags and make sure that you write "Welcome to my site", not "Welcome to my first site" and close it with a ";":

<script>
// Write your code here.
document.write("Welcome to my site");
</script>

It wants you to write "Welcome to my site", and it is very particular about matching the exact wording, capitalization, and only writing what was instructed.
