Practice Board for HTML work

The Practice Board is a great tool for working with HTML because you can check out how your HTML code looks before you actually commit to putting it out for the world to see.

It's found at: www.practiceboard.com Go ahead and open that now to see what it looks like.

When you first open it the page looks like the illustration below -- pretty simple looking and guess what? It's very simple to use as well.

Just continue scrolling down the page to the next illustration and you'll see the details on how each section works.

The following illustration should give you an idea of what you can do with Practice Board.

All you have to do is: #1 type in your HTML code; #2 click the "see HTML" button to see what your HTML code looks like; and #3 use the URL (highlighted in blue) to use as a link to show others what that code looks like.

Item #3 will become more useful as we go along but for now I want you to know about it. We'll do a little practice session with it shortly so don't worry a bit about how or why it's there.

One word of caution about Practice Board -- sometimes you can't get it to work. A lot of people use this cute little utility and it gets overloaded and will shut down for a while (I've seen it go down for as long as a couple of days).

That sounds bad but it's definitely not as horrible as it sounds. Should it go down I've got a backup plan that we'll use and everything will be fine.

Practice Board is really good for just checking your own work and it's best features are: it's free and easy to use.

My recommendation is that you bookmark "Practice Board" because it's a darn good tool for you to keep handy. -- Edited by chucksiebert at 10/04/2008 9:56 PM PDT -- Edited by chucksiebert at 10/04/2008 9:57 PM PDT -- Edited by chucksiebert at 10/04/2008 9:59 PM PDT -- Edited by ds_gifts at 10/05/2008 4:10 PM PDT -- Edited by paulajeansjewelryandcloset at 02/10/2009 3:42 PM PST

Re: Practice Board for HTML work

Seems like some really fun stuff Chucksi; How do you learn HTML to try the practice board? I'm not being smart or anything,its just I'm new to a computer and am looking for answers. I did figure out how to make one HTML but cant figure out how it really works. -- Edited by jfly412 at 11/23/2008 6:09 PM PST

Re: Practice Board for HTML work

Hey folks, sorry to leave without notice but I didn't get any myself. Family illnesses -- one death of a very dear friend and we'll miss him; and my wife's aunt, 90 yrs, had a stroke and she's recovering well. Anyway, we're back on track but exhausted. Regan, welcome and hope this little excursion into HTML gets you started. jfly, same for you and good to have you drop by. HTML isn't as "mysterious" as it seems and even someone new to computers can jump right in. Don't worry too much about the Practice Board right now, I've got to rewrite the lesson on that anyway. It's not critical right now. You can start with the simple stuff and post it right here in the group at I'd encourage both to go to the "lessons" at: and then ask any questions or post your work, if you like at, "HTML questions & show off your work" at: Like all new things it may be a bit rough at first but hang in there there is plenty of very helpful people in this group to help and encourage so don't ever feel like your questions are dumb...they're not. The goal here is just to scratch the surface of HTML and have fun along the way. I'm looking forward to helping you along the way. Chuck -- Edited by chucksiebert at 11/23/2008 10:27 PM PST
