The Treehouse Community is a forum where students can post questions about either specific challenges they feel stuck on, or more general conceptual questions about something covered within the Treehouse curriculum. Answers to your questions come from fellow students, from Treehouse Student Success Specialists, and even from instructors. Participating in the Treehouse Community is not only a great way to get help on an assignment or clarify a concept, it can be a lot of fun. Working on design and development projects isn’t meant to be lonely; professional designers and developers spend a good portion of their day communicating with clients, project managers, and team members, so the community is a good opportunity to practice talking about the new skills you’ve been learning.

    Before you write your first post, however, 0:55
    it's important to check out how the community works. 0:57
    I've clicked on the Code of Conduct, which I recommend reading in detail. 1:01
    The Code of Conduct encourages forum participants to be friendly and patient, 1:06
    to be respectful, and to choose the wording of each post carefully. 1:11
    Disagreements happen, and that's natural. 1:16
    After all, very few design or 1:19
    coding challenges have only one acceptable solution. 1:21
    And it can be really exciting to check out unique approaches to a problem. 1:25
    But healthy communities only happen when its members feel safe and 1:30
    comfortable and differences in opinion are handled respectfully. 1:35
    There are two different ways to explore the Treehouse Community. 1:41
    From the Community page itself, you can search for a term that interests you. 1:46
    Typing HTML in the search bar produces, wow, 5,600 pages of results. 1:52
    Let's narrow that down a bit. 1:59
    Since we're encountering an error, 2:02
    let's change the search term to HTML error, and also use 2:04
    the topics dropdown to change the topic of the search to just HTML. 2:10
    All right, 149 pages of results still sounds like a lot, 2:18
    but that's considerably more manageable than 5,600. 2:23
    I'll try clicking on HTML Basics challenge 2, 2:28
    since that sounds similar to the course where I'm struggling. 2:32
    It looks like Jason had a question on November 30th, 2:37
    2020 and it was answered successfully that same day. 2:41
    Jason pasted a snippet of his code and also the error message he's receiving. 2:46
    And it looks like Cameron was able to guide Jason to the closing tag 2:52
    that was written incorrectly. 2:56
    If you can't find what you're looking for in the community, you can ask 3:00
    a general question by pressing the Ask button on the right side of the page. 3:04
    However, if the question pertains to a particular video, 3:09
    such as the question about the Welcome to HTML and 3:13
    CSS video, you'll want to post it directly under that video. 3:16
    It looks like 16 questions have been posted previously. 3:22
    So before I post, I should check out the questions and answers here. 3:26
    Somebody might have been stuck on the same problem and 3:30
    an existing answer might get you back on track. 3:33
    If not, pressing the Get Help button here works the same as the Ask 3:38
    button on the Community page. 3:42
    A modal window pops up with some tips on writing a clear post like Jason's, 3:46
    including a link to a video on the topic of how to ask a good question. 3:51
    I'll try naming my question after the first error the validator gave me, 3:59
    end tag ul seen, but there were open elements. 4:06
    Treehouse will first suggest a related question. 4:14
    In this case, HTML code giving five errors while 4:17
    validation might be similar to my problem, so I'll read that now. 4:21
    If that doesn't help, I'll press Next Step and get ready to write my question. 4:27
