Thanks Jeremy, I didn't see that the $param of the ActionSendMessageWidget could be used to send the name of the template tiddler. I also see that I don't really need to use a template tiddler, everything can be done with the hash tags, though having a separate template tiddler may (or may not) help clarity and make changes easier.
I also didn't see that the hash tags for the ActionSendMessageWidget were just title="myTitle" text="myText" field1="newField text". I found my problem with the date macro, I had the title text outside of the now macro, where I should have put it inside like <<now "New Tiddler Title on YYYY mmm DD". Still a little curious/perplexed why the message and param for the ActionSendMessageWidget need a $ preceding, where the ButtonWidget does not. It almost seems that the ButtonWidget does not need the message and param Attributes as using the ActionSendMessageWidget is more powerful. Could I have used the set and setTo Attributes of the ButtonWidget to create the title of the new tiddler? I will have to play with that.
