Today your page stops being something people only read.
You will add a counter and a special button from Apps, so a visitor can press it and the number goes up.
By the end, your site will keep score of something real, like goals, books or days to the holidays.
Some pages only show words and pictures. Others can change when a visitor uses them.
Today you use blocks from a new group called Apps.
A counter holds a number on the page. A special button from Apps can change that number.
Open the interactive activity. You should see your site or the two club pages (Home and Scores). Build on what you see.
Important: put the counter on the page before you add any action that changes it, or the action cannot find it.
Check before you move on: open the Your web page tab. You should see a number on the page, often starting at 0.
If you cannot see it, go back to Blocks and check the counter is snapped inside the page (or inside the box on that page), not left beside it.
Empty screen with no pages at all? Ask your teacher before using Start again.
Stay on the same page as your counter.
Important: do not use the plain button from Links & buttons. That one only jumps to another page. You need button when clicked from Apps.
Pause and check: open Your web page. You should see your new button on the page. It may do nothing yet. That is fine. Come back to Blocks for the next step.
Keep your button when clicked on the same page as the counter.
Your stack should look like this:
