I made a couple of good discoveries today. One is that making a tiddler listing some links and adding a tag of $:/tags/SideBar will make it available as a new tab right after "More". Cool! Not quite the same as having the links directly available and always visible (when not scrolled out of view), but a tab is good enough for making those hand oft-used tiddlers easy to reach at the cost of only one click.
The other discovery is that I can use old classic tiddly markup by setting the type. I didn't know about 'type' but I stumbled upon it while investigating the first discovery. I find the newer markup harder to use, demanding lots of blank lines or it won't work, and at least half my tiddlers are still in classic markup. So that's another win. The Notebook thing seems to drag in more than I need, re-arranges stuff, and for the one thing I need, is redundant with the first discovery. I'm sure it's great for plenty of tiddly users, but I'm happy with the tagging trick (assuming I remember that exact syntax).
