Re "Saving" could TiddlyWiki default to the BrowserStorage Plugin, but 
automatically draw a banner at the top of the window once a certain number 
of changes or edit time has passed? The banner could link to a tutorial on 
saving methods.

Rationale:

   - let people get the buzz of making their own tiddlers straight away
   - delay the advanced topic of saving methods until the user knows 
   whether TiddlyWiki fits how their mind works.

I am going to see if I can make a table comparing all the different saving 
methods with pros and cons for each. I think I have tried every different 
method because I love my Tiddlywikis so much I will endure a lot of pain to 
save them! I have settled on TiddlyDesktop but am disappointed that the 
ExternalAttachments for TiddlyDesktop plugin can't cope when the TiddlyWiki 
is on a network drive (Google File Stream).
