Launching Workspace while answering challenges.

Am I suppose to be launching Workspace to enter in the HTML codes I'm practicing during the challenges as I work through each module? If so, I'm having trouble entering the data or launching my own Workspace file for a practice website.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Nick Pettit</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <a href="index.html">
        <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
        <h2>Designer</h2>
      </a>
      <nav>
        <ul>
          <li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li>
          <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li>
          <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li>
        </ul>
      </nav>
    </header>
    <section>
    </section>
    <footer>

    </footer>
  </body>

Which problem do you have?

In this challenge I'm putting in an unordered list in the section tag. I just wanted to know if I'm suppose to be replicating these HTML codes in my own Workspace index.html file as I work through the challenges.

It could be a good idea to check if you have any errors and to see the results.

Nope. The videos and challenges are independent. In the course, most of the time the teacher will work on the main project, but sometimes will just work in a new program to explain a new concept. The challenges are for you to reinforce the concepts, but you don't need to put them on the same code.

At what point in the "How to Make a Website" course am I suppose to launch a new Workspace file to start practicing the HTML coding that I've learned towards my own project?

I'm sorry, but that doesn't really answer my question. How does the Launch Workspace button work?

I though it was explained in the course or the tour. But ok:

  1. You click the Eye in the upper right corner.
  2. This will open an index of folders or directly open the html

I guess I don't understand how to use Workspace in conjunction with the course. Am I suppose to launch my own workspace as I work through the "How to make a Website" track to create my own website as I learn each HTML code, sort of following along with my own project? How I'm suppose to use Workspace along with watching the videos and working through the challenges isn't really clear.

I like to open the course on the left side of my screen, and workspace on the right side of my screen. so i can watch the video and type in workspace at the same time. there is a "launch workspace" at the bottom right of the video screen, or scroll down a bit and there is another "launch workspace " button there.

Hey John,

Thanks for the reply, it was really helpful. When you open workspace, are you customizing your project a little so its not the exact same as the example? What did you do your mini web site on?
