After I have played a board, how can I use the double dummy feature to evaluate the score? I see the notations of '=' and a dot with a '1' or '2'. Can I use these to arrive at the optimal contract for the board.

It will at least tell you what you should be making in that particular strain. = means the contract will just make, green numbers represent overtricks and red numbers represent undertricks. For other strains, you could export the board into the hand editor.

Here's a step-by-step showing how to use double dummy on BBO and Chrome. http://bit.ly/HowToDoubleDummy
To get the full benefit of double-dummy you need a chrome extension - see description above.
Double dummy analysis will show you where you went wrong or 'mis-guessed'.
The Chrome extension will explain why you got the score you got.

An identical question was asked and answered here:
