It was not obvious to me that I needed to click the New button first. I clicked around everywhere else and tried typing and no go. Then after clicking New and getting a text area, it made sense and I said "well of course".

So maybe not too many other people had this problem, but perhaps the top line could say "Click New, then just write." =)

And/or start the page off with a note that describes the basic process:

"click new, write, and click Publish to finish the note, then click Save to save it to index.html on your system"

When I went back to edit a note, Publish didn't work for me.

Trying this in Vivaldi, I didn't try on another browser yet.

Thank you very much for your trial and suggestions. I will add more detailed usage instructions to the page. After editing, please remember to click the "Publish" button again.
