Hm, strange... I just dug into the log file, and I don't have a record of your submission ever getting there. I see a request for the "add entry" form, then nothing. Can you try again for me, maybe just a quick test entry, and tell me what you see after you press "Save"?
Also, any of this information you can give me would be very helpful to figure it out: What web browser are you using? Were you trying to create a public or private entry? When you logged in, did you choose the "save login info on this computer" box? Anything else that you think might be relevant could help, too. Sorry you're having trouble!

A ha! Congratulations, you have just uncovered usability problem number one! That box is not actually a hyperlink - it provides a way for you to link one Elistic entry to another using it's permalink ID. If you want to see it in action, click "link to this" on an existing entry and it will be populated automatically.
Sometimes it's tough to understand how others will see a feature from the outside when I've been deep into figuring out how to make it work. I'll update the form to make that a little more clear. For now, if you want a hyperlink in your entry, you'll have to include it in the note text.
