As you have received conflicting advice, but nobody has quoted an authority I shall tell you where it goes and also provide a source for you to confirm what I say. It goes outside. It would go inside if the text within the inverted commas was a complete sentence. http://www.hull.ac.uk/studyadvice/LearningResources/StudyGuidesPDFs/Punctuation.pdf

Inside the quotation mark always

Inside for American English. Outside for British English.

Outside, as any proper English teach would tell ya. :)
