Posting questions to in-real-life projects we're working on for help?

In one of the CSS videos (https://teamtreehouse.com/library/css-basics/fundamental-concepts/learning-tips-and-tools), Guil mentions that we can post questions on the forums to get help with the projects we are working on personally. I am taking these courses to help my dad build a website, and also to help build one for my nonprofit. I wanted to check with the consensus of everyone here if they do think it's okay to get help and feedback on what we're doing with projects outside of Treehouse, like Guil said?

It is not uncommon. People also ask for opinions about sites they have live.

Hi, Gina. Absolutely! Please post on the forums if you're having troubles, but remember to include your code (or at least snippets of the relevant parts) so we can see what's going on and help you better. :)

That's so incredibly cool. This is where the connection between courses and real life was so needed; I need to be mentored as I move into real-world projects because I sometimes have a hard time connecting the lessons to the real-world application without guidance. Just another reason why Team Treehouse's customer service and built-in community support is SO MUCH better than another online learning site I know of (whose name I will keep quiet about. :).

Thanks, Ryan Field and Ted Sumner, for your answer. I just hope I won't annoy anyone with my questions (I promise I always try to do research first!).

I am just a student also and ask annoying questions as well. :)
