At the moment I can think of two (2) basic scenarios or approaches for applying tags to tiddlers. #1: in a basic TiddlyWiki, tags provide a mechanism for grouping and filtering tiddlers. You can identify all plugins by finding the tiddlers tagged 'systemConfig'. A TiddlyWiki containing hundreds of tiddlers would be almost useless if you can't easily find what you are looking for in one or more tiddlers within the TiddlyWiki. The default search mechanism in TiddlyWiki and even the search plugins, e.g. http://tiddlywiki.abego-software.de/#YourSearchPlugin, http://devpad.tiddlyspot.com/#SimpleSearchPlugin, http://www.tiddlytools.com/#SearchOptionsPlugin, can help you find text and phrases but the number of hits can still be large and difficult to traverse. At the least I would recommend each tiddler have at least one (1) tag. For example, in my TiddlyWikis I tag any tiddlers that were created from TiddlySnip with the tag 'TiddlySnip', tiddlers containing any CSS code are tagged 'css', tiddlers that contain information about making or spending money are tagged 'bank', etc. Tony, thinking about tagging to answer your question has sparked an idea. I would like to see a more robust http://www.tiddlytools.com/#SearchOptionsPlugin that can search on multiple fields with multiple values simultaneously, e.g. 'title begins with Journal*' AND 'text includes Budget' AND 'tags includes 2009'. The larger our TiddlyWikis become, the more difficult it becomes to drill down and find the needle in the haystack. #2: TagglyTagging ([[TagglyTagging|http://mptw.tiddlyspot.com/ #TagglyTagging]]) takes tags to a new level. You need to be careful and deliberate in your use of tags in a TagglyTagging-enabled TiddlyWiki because the tags drive the tiddlers into a hierarchical structure. All of the Getting Things Done (GTD) -enabled TiddlyWikis leverage this behavior to facilitate a complex tree of tiddlers. Take a look at Tobias' http://tbgtd.tiddlyspot.com. The tutorial at http://mptw.tiddlyspot.com/#[[TagglyTagging%20Tutorial]] explains it well. Here's a simple example. I did the following steps in http://craig.prichard.mptw.tiddlyspot.com/: Step #1: create a tiddler titled 'Project TagglyTagging' but do not give it any tags. Save the tiddler and leave it open. Step #2: create a tiddler titled 'Phase 1' and give it the tag [[Project TagglyTagging]] (the square brackets are required because there's a space in the tag). As soon as you save this tiddler you'll see the name of appear in the 'Project TagglyTagging' tiddler. Additional tiddlers tagged [[Project TagglyTagging]] will appear "under" the Project TagglyTagging tiddler (as if it was the root node and these were subdirectories directly beneath it). Step #3: create a tiddler titled 'Phase 2' and also give it the tag [[Project TagglyTagging]]. Step #4: create a tiddler titled 'Read MPTW Tutorial' and give it the tag [[Phase 1]]. You'll see this tiddler title appear in the 'Phase 1' tiddler and you'll see a '(1)' appear next to the 'Phase 1' tiddler link in the 'Project TagglyTagging' tiddler. In an outline format this would appear as: I. Project TagglyTagging A. Phase 1 1. Read MPTW Tutorial B. Phase 2 The basic concept is that the tags govern the placement of the tiddlers within the hierarchy. Tiddlers can appear in multiple places if they have multiple tags. This is where the complexity kicks in. For example, http://tbgtd.tiddlyspot.com/#[[fixed%20stuff]] is tagged #done, &tech, @dev, and tbGTD-project. These four (4) tags give this tiddler four (4) different contexts to appear in: * #done appears under the # action section * &tech appears under the & area section * @dev appears under the @ context section * tbGTD-project appears under the $active section of the $ project section Tobias could also have tagged this tiddler with a priority (^1high, ^2medium, ^3low), a stage (ยง0.kickoff, etc.), a realm (-private or - work), a contact, etc. The point is that once your structure is well- defined and adhered to, you can arrange your tiddler content very effectively. I haven't addressed answering your question as it applies to Tiddly960 specifically because it's a work in progress that doesn't have the TagglyTagging plugins incorporated in it currently. I hope the muddy waters are less so. Take care. Craig
