Practicing HTML after Learning

With every new lesson, we are learning many new tags in HTML. Is there any way interesting way to practice these tags instead of repeating the same steps suggesting in Videos so that we can remember and enjoy practicing.

I would recommend building a small webpage of your own either in workspaces or on your computer with a text editing program like textedit. My personal favorite is Sublime Text 2 which has a free trial version before you purchase the license. The sooner you start building real things, the faster you will learn.

Thanks for your suggestion Chris. I am doing the same. I have taken a page in Wikipedia and trying to build the same with the tags i am aware of. But this is not helping me to practice all the tags and slowly i am loosing tags which are not frequently used also i am not sure if the tag used is appropriate for that situation / position. Is there any way i can over come this to improve my coding standard ?

I don't mean to recreate an existing page. I mean to create something of your very own. By creating your own page, you will come across situations where you need to figure out which tag is appropriate. By googling what you want to do you will find a wealth of knowledge from sites like stackoverflow and the W3C, and many more. Treehouse is one source of learning but you will also want to explore other sources as well. Try building a page with a specific goal, like including the wikipedia page you are trying to build into a scrollable iframe embedded in your page, or including a video as an example.
