If you have any external images, they will also not show up. node.js only serves up tiddlers, nothing else. Apparently modern browsers won't let you link to a local file or image from page served up by a server (which is how it views files from node.js). So, if you needed those images or files, you would need to run a separate file server and then change all your addresses to point to that server.
This limitation is one reason why I can't get excited about node.js. I can only assume that people using node.js aren't interested in images and other resources. To me images and supporting files are an important part of any information management system. If I only cared about text I'd probably just concentrate on SimpleNotes or other similar solutions.
