title: How do I create a new notebook in ipython notebook?
body: <p>I'm trying to create a new notebook in ipython but the notebook option is greyed out.  I first of all open a console and go to the ipython folder and launch using ipyhon notebook.  I get the following messages which don't look like errors:</p>

  <p>It does then open a browser window pointing to <a href="http://localhost:8888/tree" rel="nofollow">http://localhost:8888/tree</a> but the option to add a new notebook is blank.  I can see various python scripts I have in the folder though, although I cannot run them.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas on how to be able to open a new notebook?</p>
