Alvin,

I am confident you do not need any of the above with the latest version to 
tiddlywiki. Although the way to do what you did with each will change a 
little.

In short, I believe you can do all of the above, so you may as well proceed.

Just ask what you would like to do in your new wiki, describing what you 
want and we can give you answers.

Not sure what smiley does?
