Hi Sanna,

First of all, this is the first time I am using "All is text" to
respond to a group post, and I have to say... using my preferred text-
editor is a whole lot more comfortable than editing in a browsers edit
box!

As for you Sanna, great to have you onboard and to literally feel how
TiddlyWiki has caught your attention and inspired your to explore all
the things you can do with it.

If ever you want to understand the internal structure of the core, I
would recommend looking at...
http://www.tiddlytools.com/insideTW

It allows you to access the functions that run "under the hood" in a
TiddlyWiki. So, for example, if you encounter some core function in
some plugin, you might either easily find the corresponding code in
insideTW or check out whatever you can find in the dev section of
TiddlyWiki.org.

Javascript is the most fun and least scary language I have yet
encountered... if you want to grab a few basics you might want to
start here...
http://www.w3schools.com/js/default.asp

On those pages you will also find the basics for CSS!

Here are a few concepts that you might want to research when working
with javascript...
*functions as first class objects and things like closure or scope
*array and string methods
*objects and prototypes, e.g. new Date();
*namespaces, e.g. path.to.my.object
*jquery, xhr and json

Eventually, unless you really are just trying to get a hold of
TiddlyWiki as an "end user" ...working with TiddlyWiki really empowers
you to be more web-literate, in that you get a feel for a few of the
technologies involved, be they html, css or javascript, for starters.

As for TiddlyWiki, something that may have not been part of your
customizations is what at times is called a zzConfig or zzTweaks
tiddler which you tag with systemConfig and which thus runs native
javascript. What this allows you to do is to overwrite core or plugin
elements and their properties, for example...

config.macros.someMacro.someVariable='myNewValue';

You can find more info on this here...
http://tiddlywiki.org/wiki/Persistent_Options

As for your operating system ...does it prevent you from using the
latest version of, say, firefox? If not, grab it.

> plugins i have not been able to get to work
> ForEachTiddler, Calendar, Drag, Splashscreen...

It is always best to stage your problems. Often it's  just a few
simple things which aren't quite right ...and usually you get rather
quick help as to what's wrong with your wiki ...if you allow people to
access it, maybe using dropbox (if that's available for mac).

Best wishes, Tobias.
