I'd like to second the call for a stylesheet guide for rookies. I have also recently been trying to add a bit of styling to my wikis. My results so far make a huge difference with just some little bits of code, but the effort involved in figuring out how to do simple things is disproportionate. It has mostly involved gleaning little bits of information by searching through group posts and then making changes by trial and error.
This seems to currently be the weak point in the TW value proposition. Tiddlywiki allows beginners to do all sorts of clever things without having to learn HTML or javascript, but as soon as you want to change a font size in a particular place, or put a background image in a tiddler, the advice seems to be 'go away and learn CSS'. While no doubt a useful thing to do, it seems excessive when someone wants to make a couple of little Tiddlywiki-specific customisations. We could really do with an easier way to work out how to do many of the common things, and a way to figure out how to extend this knowledge easily. The settings options allow a few things - background images was a good enhancement - but is still pretty limited. Maybe we need a plugin to give a wider range of customisation settings. Or at the very least, a centralised repository of useful boilerplate CSS would be helpful.
