Shouldn't new TIL's appear on Newest Nodes? (I think they should.)

    No, because entries in TIL are not nodes. They're actually almost exactly like messages in your personal inbox.

      That's a leaking implementation detail ;-)

      map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]

        You make a good point, but for better or worse this is an implementation detail which has been intentionally exposed since the beginning of the Everything Engine.
        You can't really be a good Monk (or E2 noder) without understanding about nodes.

      That doesn't stop them from appearing on the same page as Newest Nodes

    Yes, and there should be a link to the section on the menu bar at the top of the site. At the moment, the only link I have is in my Editors Nodelet, because I'm a janitor.

      The top menu bar is quite full as it stands. But I agree that there ought to be a way for TIL to be found - perhaps a link in the Leftovers nodelet?

        I've added Today I Learnt to the Leftovers nodelet.

        It seems a bit lost down there. However, as has been pointed out, the top menu is a bit crowded already for it to go up there.
