So far we have come to one very important conclusion: This program desperately needs an 'add' menu. By this I mean a grid of specialized parts that are sort of 'ready-made' and that way the user won't need to understand which CSS properties will give them which thing...
We'll just make up the parts and put them there in some sort of 'part-adding-menu'. Most programs have something like that.
This way, when the user is first entering into the program, there can be a button to simply enter in a new 'editable HTML' part.
To give a little bit more insight into the program: I can tell you that there is a 'single-atomic-component', meaning that every rectangular part that you are seeing is actually made with the same parts inside, regardless of whether they are being used.
This was unavoidable as a choice for the base of this program.
If anyone can, please follow up with some part descriptions for the add menu. One with editable text placed obviously inside of the rectangle has already been suggested. Are there any other 'standard' parts that you know about?
Thanks,

Which menus are more important? I know that I can make one that will appear in the middle of the screen, and maybe be more comprehensive in it's selection.
Just now, I am focusing my attention on the 'side-shelf' style menu which is on the right side of the screen when you first start the program.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
I need to work on finishing up some more of the menu on the side.
What you are describing is most likely the splash screen. I tried drawing another one, but, it wasn't as bright and colourful. So, I thought: "Hey, I'll just keep the first one I did."
I would like to point out that the program does have 'drag-edges' now, so that should be a good 'selling-point' for new users.
What I am really hoping for is some input on what the menu should have...
For example, I know it needs to have font, just right off the top of my head, font selection is pretty crucial.
Of course, you can still do that from the console in the browser simply because the entire software is browser-based.
On that note, I would also point out that it is fully-offline and has no external dependencies. This is a super great point for anyone who likes to keep there own work private and have full control over their intellectual property.
