I don't understand why it prompts me "Oops! It looks like Task 1 is no longer passing."

const contentDiv = document.getElementById("content"); let newParagraph = document.createElement("p");

newParagraph.className = "panel"; contentDiv.append(newParagraph);

app.js 
const contentDiv = document.getElementById("content");
let newParagraph = document.createElement("p");

newParagraph.className = "panel";
contentDiv.append("Hello", newParagraph);
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>DOM Manipulation</title>
    </head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
    <body>
        <div id="content">

        </div>
        <script src="app.js"></script>
    </body>
</html>

For this challenge you need to use appendChild to make the p element a child node of the div.

contentDiv.appendChild(newParagraph);
