Sapphireslinger, It looks to me is not too many people are following the same path as you, and thus not providing advice.
>From my perspective designing a blog, the main work is the layout and features. To me the final effort is exporting it as a static site simply to increase the searchability, or landing page load speed, thus I would leave it to the end. In this forum there are many posts in the last year to 6 months ago on exporting static sites. I started to build a blog here <https://anthonymuscio.github.io/TWBlog.html> but personally to publish it I would like all the links on the static pages point to the interactive wiki tiddler. If you do this and make sure you have a splash screen while loading the full wiki, visitors will on the first interaction (link) load the full wiki where they can benefit from all the interactive features tiddlywiki has to offer, rather than you needing to systematically make the interactive features work on static pages. Static pages are by definition the poor cousins of an interactive wiki.
