Not the right tag?

Not sure what other tag I can use otherwise it keeps telling me that the content has not been store unless I need to use a .textContent someone to make it work?

app.js 
let inputValue = document.getElementsByTagName('a');
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>DOM Manipulation</title>
    </head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
    <body>
        <div id="content">
            <label>Link Name:</label>
            <input type="text" id="linkName">
            <a id="link" href="https://teamtreehouse.com"></a>
        </div>
        <script src="app.js"></script>
    </body>
</html>

For the first part of the challenge to you need to get the Input Value first, from the input form field, take another look at the HTML tab in the challenge itself if need be.

let inputValue = document.getElementById('linkName').value;

Now we have this we can complete the second challenge using the .textContent you mentioned:

let linkTextContent = document.getElementById('link');
linkTextContent.textContent = inputValue;
