OK. Setting the publication date of my entries solved the
problem. That seems like a big bug that entries don't show up
until you set a publication date. 

A few issues I have using the site:
- I kept getting logged out, and having to re-enter the password
  whenever I used the navigation features "Browse" or "Link"
- I couldn't find a way to get back to the tutorial list from an
  individual post. A post seems like a dead-end, link-wise. Pier
  used to have some kind of navigation tree on the left side.
  Where did that go?
- I don't see a way to list post-titles only, or make the post
  title be a link to the tutorial. I guess Blog is the wrong
  abstraction for what I want to accomplish, although it is
  close. I guess more of what I want is a ratable, tag-gable,
  comment-able, searchable bookmark list, sorted by popularity,
  and grouped by tags
