|
| 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.
