The following can be added to your ViewTemplate (and/or EditTemplate):
<!-- "scroll to top of tiddler" button (direct inline HTML
scripting): -->
<!-- puts 'uparrow' (x25B2) button in lower right of tiddler -->
<div class='toolbar' style='line-height:100%;margin-top:.5em;'>
<a href="javascript:;"
onclick="window.scrollTo(0,ensureVisible(story.findContainingTiddler
(this)));return false;"
onmouseover="this.title='scroll to top of
'+story.findContainingTiddler(this).getAttribute('tiddler')">▲</
a>
</div>
<div class='tagClear'></div>
You can see this in action on www.TiddlyTools.com

Unless you have added TiddlyTools' SetUserNamePlugin, you aren't
actually forced to *set* the value of 'txtUserName' (which defaults to
"YourName")... of course, regardless of the value, when you edit a
tiddler, the current username is saved in the 'modifier' field of that
tiddler. However, there's not any actual need to *display* that
username when viewing the tiddler. Just modify the ViewTemplate
definition and remove this:
<span macro='view modifier link'></span>
so that the username is no longer shown.

[[GettingStarted]] just presents *instructions* for what to do... and
includes links to the individual tiddlers that are used to set the
title/subtitle.

While "Timeline" has obvious utility, the "All" tab is only really
useful when you know the title of the tiddler you want to view... and,
for that case, I use TiddlyTools' GotoPlugin, which lets me simply
type in a few characters to quickly match and select a tiddler title
from a droplist of all tiddlers in the document.
Also, the usefulness of the "Tags" tab depends entirely on how you are
using tags in your document... if there are lots of tiddlers with
different tags, the "Tags" tab can be indispensable, both for
navigation and tag management.

The only time I use "Shadowed" is when I am initially customizing a
default definition. Once a custom version of a shadow tiddler is
created, it appears in the regular Timeline and All lists, so there's
really no need to go back to the Shadowed tab just to select that
tiddler. This is especially so if using the GotoPlugin noted above,
as it becomes trivial to just type a few letters to jump straight to
the desired tiddler.

These tiddlers *do* exist on TiddlyWiki.com, and provide some basic
info about their corresponding options. However, while the default
[[SidebarOptions]] shadow tiddler contains references to these info
tiddlers, the info tiddlers themselves are not shadows, and thus are
not automatically present in an 'empty' TiddlyWiki starter document.

Same as above... though for this case, I think that adding a shadow
definition for [[TiddlyWiki]] might make some sense. This shadow
could contain a very short description (e.g., "TiddlyWiki is ..."),
followed by links to www.TiddlyWiki.com and www.TiddlyWiki.org.
