Receiving syntax error: Parse Error

I'm not exactly sure where I'm causing a parse error.

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</script>
</body>

</html>
