One of the major features of a "wiki"... especially a personal wiki... is that you don't need to plan ahead of time. If you just start creating tiddlers -- and remember to think in SMALL chunks -- then you can easily assemble that content by linking/embedding those chunks in other tiddlers to construct a variety of presentation(s). You can also start tagging tiddlers with meaningful keywords so you can group things semantically. You can then use TiddlyWiki as a "discovery tool" to explore concepts related by tags, without hand-building "presentation tiddlers". As you enter more content and create more tag keywords, the organization of your content will start to become more apparent. Then, if needed, you can re-factor your TiddlyWiki by adding/removing/editing your tiddlers and tags to clean things up. enjoy, -e Eric Shulman TiddlyTools / ELS Design Studios YOUR DONATIONS ARE VERY IMPORTANT!
