Hi all,

Some of you may have been away on holiday when I announced some
changes to No-Brainer Notes. The changes are buried in various threads
over the course of December. So this post is an attempt to, um, tie
some threads together (no pun intended), and throw in a few new
twists.

1. There are now two versions of No-Brainer Notes.

2. The original version uses the HistoryPlugin. I recently added the
backward, forward and history buttons to all tiddlers using
Viewtemplate to facilitate navigation and added a few other changes
inspired by Morris Gray's TW Notes (which is based on NBN). Thanks to
Morris for his great new tweaks and features. The original version can
be found here:

3. The new version, which is now the official version accessible from
my website, uses the TiddlerBarPlugin, so that while you only see one
tiddler at a time, you can see your open tiddlers via tabs. I
originally didn't like the TiddlerBarPlugin, but after playing with it
a bit on NBN, I have grown to like it. The new, official, TiddlerBar
version can be found here:
http://www.giffmex.org/nobrainernotes.html

4. Both versions add a feature that will be helpful if you ever need
to create a ForEachTiddler index of your notes and topics. Now all new
subtopics and notes have the 'note' tag added to them, whether they
are created from the topmenu or from the new here button in the
tiddler toolbar.

5. Both versions correct a short-lived mistake I made: when adding the
feature in #4, I accidentally imported the version of NewHerePlugin
that I used for the Spanish version. So new here tiddlers were being
created with a Spanish tag in them (nota) rather than the necessary
English tag (note). Thanks to Morris Gray for spotting that.

6. In both versions, instead of 'new here', the new here button reads
*create subtopic within this topic*. Though it's a bit long, I thought
this would be clearer for newbies than 'new here'. The goal of NBN is
to be as no-brainer as possible so that new people can jump right in.
TW pros can open ViewTemplate and change that back in their own copies
if it's too long for their tastes.

No-Brainer Notes is a work in progress, like everything else I do. If
anyone has any other suggestions or corrections, I'll be happy to
consider them.

Morris Gray has a couple of versions of TW Notes based on NBN. These
have features not included in NBN, and are worth your consideration as
well. Happy note-taking and happy new year!
