Glad you enjoyed it! I'm pretty sure the 'save' button puts the half finished crossword in your computer's cache so that whenever you return to the page it will appear as you left it.
re #0002:
25a is definitely the clue I'm least happy with. It was a struggle to find something to fit! Googling the first two words of the clue would help and there might be a 'signifier' of what else to do in there too....any letters you already have will probably be very useful.
16d/27a - A trouvere is a historical troubadour (singer/poet) from a particular part of France. This one is a favourite of mine so he had to go in ;)I think the rest of the clue plays itself out in a fairly standard cryptic way.
I hope this helps!
