Hi Paul, Don't give up too early. TW is a marvelous product indeed. Your basic question: "I'd like to be able to use it to publish a 'traditional' static-html-page-type website such that it can be found in search engines" can i.m.h.o. surely be answered with "YES, you can" (in this I indeed very happily disagree with Fred (FND)). Unfortunately, when you elaborated somewhat more on this basic question, you at the same time helas, biased the answers you could expect.
I would suggest, try the standard TW (single html file, no additional software needed), install Eric Shulmans "SinglePageModePlugin", and FTP it to the webspace you already own (presumably as "index.html"). (And forget TiddlyWeb for a while.) As for search engines I've noticed that Google nowadays does a better job with TW, then it used to be in the past. You can however help Google by explicitly register your website with them (and others?). For further "SEO-ization" I've put important keywords and external links in tiddler "MarkupPreBody", and a couple of <meta-name>-tags in tiddler "MarkupPreHead". You can see how and what I've done in "http:// www.ton-van-rooijen.nl/" (sorry, it is in Dutch; should you so whish I can translate the Markup-tiddlers for you). Another nice TW example I believe, is the website of my daughter in law (painter and sculpturer): "http://www.judithcruz.nl/"; (Dutch and Spanish). And of course many more nice examples in Dave Giffords showcase: "http://giffmex.tiddlyspot.com/";. Hope this helps. Enjoy TW! Regards / Ton.
