Bummer: Did you set the 'className' property on the paragraph element to 'panel'?
var contentDiv = document.getElementById('content');
var newParagraph = document.createElement('p');
newParagraph.value = ('className', 'panel');
<!DOCTYPE html>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
<body>
<div id="content">

newParagraph.className = 'panel'
