I know what you mean. I classify myself as a beginner too, but Tiddlywiki is just too interesting for me to stay that way for much longer. Have a look at my Tiddlyspace. <http://leostaley.tiddlyspace.com/#FirstPost%20%5B%5BLearning%20TiddlyWiki%20and%20plugins%20Commands%5D%5D>The specific page I linked there actually has a chart with my beginner explanation I made for myself about a couple of plugins and features. I'm gonna be making more beginner explanations as I keep working through it.
