I wonder why the child element doesn't work on the last form of this content paragraph?

var contentDiv = document.getElementById('content'); var newParagraph = document.createElement('p'); newParagraph.className = 'panel'; newParagraph.appendChild('contentDiv');

This content paragraph doesnt answer the last question in the project. Do I want to add (ul.newParagraph.appendChild?) I hope that was understandable. I am not moving forward with this line of code.

You have it backwards. The instructions are to append newParagraph to contentDiv. Also keep in mind a variable enclosed in quotes is a string.
