Notes sync between iOS devices, but not to iCloud

My iPhone running iOS6 and iPad running iOS5 sync NOTES with no problem between themselves, but nothing syncs to iCloud which I access via www.icloud.com/#notes on my PC (Windows 7).


On the iCloud web site all I ever have is an almost empty Note list in the left frame with only a single"New Note" titled entry. Interestingly that table of contents Frame is labeled "All iCloud (1)" which seems a little strange.


I have Deleted the iCloud account from my phone and then restored it. The phone restored corretly with all my Notes, but the PC iCloud web page remains unchanged from the one empty new note.


It doesn't matter if I add a new note to the PC or an iOS device, nothing appears on the other (exccept the two iOS devices immediately sync OK).


I have NO account choices on my iOS devices nor on the iCloud web page allowing me to specify what account to sync which leads me to believe everything thinks it is all correctly going to my Apple Account ID which seemed to be the only way to set up a new iCloud service.


Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I really use Notes a lot and am very frustrated by not being able to view/edit them on the PC.


Thanks.

iPhone 4, iOS 6

I should note that this was all working in Aug, but although I have made no changes I can recall, the current non-working functionality appeared.


One thing I notice is that when I go the the PC web iCloud and check Preferences on the Mail tab the only Default Addresses I have to pick from is "myname@me.com" and "myname@icloud.com" neither of which are anything I ever use. It seems like I should be able to advise iCloud that all my information resides in a "myname@google.com" account and never at these Apple depositories.


I can find no way to tell iCloud that it's pointers should be looking at Google.


Is that possible, and if so, how?
