    Day 5 of Drummer Notes
    PROB - Status Center command does not seem to work
      Reviewed instructions on http://lo.1999.io/2017/02/02/statusCenters.html
      Did not see any reaction when I selected Outliner -> Build -> Status Center after following above instructions

    Day 4 of Drummer Notes
    Subscribed to Dave Winer's Scripting News outline from Github
      Used File -> Subscribe to outline menu item, then pasted the urlPublic into the dialog box
      Was able to see the outline in Drummer successfully
    Changed the name of this file to "Andy Sylvester's Status" per suggestion from Dave Winer
    Selected Outliner -> Visible Markup, saw all links in this outline change to HTML
    Selected Outliner -> Invisible Markup, saw links return to highlighted text
    PROB - Created outline listicleTest.opml to test Listicle feature
      Nothing happened when I selected that feature
      Looked at http://lo.1999.io/2017/01/18/listicles.html for background
      Spent some time exploring listicle code at http://listicle.io/dave/appmenu.opml
      file.getPublicUrl does not seem to exist
      There is a tab.getPublicUrl in DocServer
    PROB - Sometimes when I am trying to look at info in Developer Tools/Console, I have problems editing an outline
      I can select a heading, but I cannot get the cursor to be present to edit the text in the outline
      Refreshing the browser tab with Drummer sometimes fixes that

    Day 3 of drummer
    This is a test. This is only a test.
      Used the Tweet icon to create a tweet from the above headline
    The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.
      The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.
      The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.
    PROB - Tried to use the "eye" icon, which would open another browser tab with a URL like the following, but nothing there
      http://drummer.scripting.com/undefined?permalink=20210611221747
    Here is a link to Scripting News
      Was able to use the "show or hide HTML code in text" icon to see the link text in the headline above
    PROB - Tried the lock icon, but it did not stop me from editing headings that I thought I had locked.
    Tweets from AndySylvester99 on 7/11/2021
      PROB - Selected Tools -> get my tweets, the headline above was created, but it did not display the one tweet I did today

    Day 2 of Drummer
    Dave Winer is going to write a howto on how to install a Drummer server
    I opened the Scripts menu (File -> Special items -> Scripts menu) and started playing with that
    Watched this video which was an overview of the Scripts menu, added some of those scripts to the Script menu
    Created testing.opml to work with outliner commands
    Added op.collapseEverything () to the last headline in the outline in testing.opml
      Selected the headline, then selected File -> Run selection, and the outline collapsed - yay!
        A headline was added below with the word "undefined", which is consistent with the DocServer notes for that verb
      Looks like a "script" can be added to any outline and run in that way
    Also demoed the hoist/dehoist feature after watching this video, both the icons and the Outliner menu commands for hoist/dehoist worked

    Getting started using Drummer today!
    I added this "note" using the Notes icon (the plus sign on the left side of the display)
    Here is a link to my weblog (using Link icon on the left side of the display)
    When I click on that link text, a new window opens with the website that I entered
