At work, so I will keep this brief for now.

The roadmap for what I want is as follows:

1. A *simple* sidebar - title, subtitle, simple TOC, a "tag cloud" *that 
works* (more on that in a bit), some other fixed text (copyright, pointer 
to TW, etc., so that isn't repeated in every tiddler). I have title and 
subtitle working, am at least getting the display text for the TOC now, so 
it is an incremental journey.
2. Per the TOC, I am not looking for a fancy one that expands and contracts 
- for now I am working on the idea that "static" remains just that, and 
doesn't have any or much of the TW Javascript magic in it. I have made some 
other tiddlers, like one called "Categories," that is actually an auto list 
of tags, So, if the TOC has "Home," "Categories," and a few other things, 
that's enough. I can hide the complexity behind tiddlers the TOC then 
points to to do the "heavy lifting" that the expandable TOC does in a 
"live" TW.
3. Get the tag buttons working, probably by generating them not as buttons 
but as links that are styled the same as the buttons. Personally, I believe 
the behavior of the current static template (which generates the buttons 
with CSS that causes them to receive the "clickable" pointer when you hover 
over them but that do nothing when you click on them) to be a bug in the 
static CSS if nothing else.
4. I already have a set of tiddlers that I ignore in the main 
rendertiddlers via a filter and then "pass through" using savetiddler for 
things like an .htaccess file, favicon.ico, CSS, Javascript I am going to 
want to embed, etc. That all works just fine.
5. I figure I will copy and adapt the alltiddlers template to generate an 
ATOM/RSS file (I believe someone already did that for classic TW, but 
haven't seen that for TW5).

Ultimately my goal is to get a decent but simple static site capability 
that has a useful but static sidebar and tags that work, allowing me to 
compose in TW and then with a simple command file (already in place) 
generate a static site. I think I am about 60% there given the above.
