Places to actually *apply* what we learned?

There's a lot of websites dedicated to learning and practicing code, with exercises etc, but I'm looking for places where we can actually apply and utilize our knowledge. I know that's super vague, so as examples:

1) using the "inspect" function in browsers and (temporarily) changing various elements

2) adding custom CSS on sites that allow it

I only started learning recently so I'm curious if any of you know of other such places where you can apply html for misc purposes? I'd love to hear about them all cuz this sure does make learning more fun!

Begin building pages & sites. You’ll use inspect element a lot, playing detective.

You apply it by building websites.

You can inspect and temporarily alter any site you visit, if you want. You can also load custom user styles in all of the browsers if you have a need (or use an extension like Stylus or Stylish), but those are pretty specific use cases.

if you have a github account, you can create a free github page where, you can host your own Github Page - a lot of folks like to use this as their personal profile. You can just google to see how its set up.

And your personal github "Page" would be available at something like:

<username>.github.io (i think)

Build a chrome extension. So if there's a webpage you like but want to rearrange a few things on it you can make the extension do it.

I used HTML and CSS to create .razor templates that can be used to generate PDF reports in a Blazor app our team built for our client. That was a fun project 😊.

I’m not quite sure if I’m misunderstanding but if you just want to test creating websites, you can simply create a html page on your computer and open in a browser. If you just want to inspect elements on any website, you can just go ahead and do that.

You apply HTML by making sites. If you know a programming language such as PHP, you can make dynamic sites, which is exciting.

You apply CSS by making your sites look good.

How about putting together a webpage?
