Chrome tutorials - options page

I am working on my first chrome extension. I followed this article http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/options.html to base my options page off of. So when I reload my extension, and I click "options" I see the page correctly, but when I change an options and save it, the setting is not saved. As far as the setup goes it's very basic right now, just used the getting started tutorial. I am not sure why this isn't working and not sure where to start. Thank you. Please let me know if I can provide more information.
