Looks good! How instant is instant? If I visit a site while he author is updating it will I see the text being added real time?

No, only after a page refresh.

I think we won't have automatic page refresh because it gets complicated if the author e.g. decides to add a JS script to the page. But maybe not! Or maybe we'll add it for 99% of the users who don't embed JS into their pages.

I'm a DB guy not an HTMLer.

Which is pretty much what would happen with a static site, no? Edit, save, refresh, visible. Because even I've done that.

(BTW I fully respect your JS orientation but as someone who's going to have to start a blog soon but without JS I won't be able to use your stuff).

Without the "save" step. This is I meant by saying "instant".
