Annozilla works by communicating with an annotation server. In order to use it, you will need to set yourself up an account on such a server. For example, if you want to try the W3C test server, you can apply for an account at http://annotest.w3.org/access.

Whichever server you use should provide you with the URL used to access the server, together with your username and password. These are set by selecting "New" on this screen.

New Remote Annotations Server

An alternative is to use a "Local Server". In this case, the annotations are stored on your local machine. They are not shared with any other users. To use this option, select "Add Local Server", and set "urn:localserver" as the Default Post Server.
