Hello. I did this with my blog <https://blog.digitalap3.com> at https://blog.digitalap3.com . I am a respiratory therapist by trade and with covid the blog is one of many projects I have let go of for now.
I have no coding skills. I can copy and paste into terminal. > Unless you are doing this as a learning experience, I would suggest a more production ready static site generator. There are hundreds of them like Jekyll and Ghost. If this is a learning project without the need for something quick then by all means go for it. I learned a lot so far but I did start with a medium level understanding of shell scripting, HTML and CSS. Honestly it would benefit you to start with thoroughly learning the basics of HTML and CSS first. > > Are these still the two best tutorials on setting up a blog with > Tiddlywiki? Are there any other tutorials? > > https://www.didaxy.com/exporting-static-sites-from-tiddlywiki > > https://nesslabs.com/digital-garden-tiddlywiki > I'm not familiar with nesslabs but the didaxy tutorial pointed me in the right directions as far as how to get started finding and manipulating the templates. > > Also I need tabs in a blog. Didaxy said: > > "Only some of Tiddlywiki's functionality translates well into static > content at the moment. Basic transclusion works great, but the "tabs" macro > doesn't work at all, for example.

Since you are basically transferring from the *dynamic* language of javascript to the *static* language of HTML and CSS you lose that functionality. And it can be very challenging to put javascript in your templates because of the security features Tiddlywiki has in place. It is possible as you can see from the picture galleries in my blog, but without some knowledge of the DOM, HTML, and CSS you are going to be hitting some real walls. I would suggest starting with an easier solution made specifically for generating static sites then taking your time doing it with TW. The problem I always have run into in situations like this is that I get so caught up in the process of setting it up that when it is working I have no energy left for actually writing something!
