Selecting Elements with the query selector
document.querySelector('h1');
document.querySelector('.classname'); // will return the 1st item with that class name
document.querySelectorAll('.classname'); // will return a array with all items with that class name
document.querySelectorAll(.classname').[0] // will select the first array item with that classname
document.querySelector('#idname');

This will append the text after the first li
var p = document.createElement('P');
p.textContent = "A new Paragraph";
p.style.fontSize = '17px';
var li= document.querySelector('li');
li.appendChild(p);
