Awesome - that got me most of the way there. I have the "Contents" tab added to my sidebar tabs... how can I re-order it so that my contents tab shows first in the sidebar instead of last?
The other thing I want to do is make the body of the Contents tiddler become a list of links in the sidebar. If you can tell me how to do these two things, I've got everything I need! Thanks again!
