  1. Open Notepad. Type in .LOG and press Enter.
  2. Save the file and close it.
  3. Open the Notepad file again. You should see a date and time added to it. Type your notes, your feelings, whatever inside and save it.
  4. Next time you open Notepad, a new date and time is added below the entry.

How about this one?

Open notepad, type in bush hid the facts (not bold, just default text). Save, then reopen the file in Notepad.
