Hi Mat, thanks for you lengthy answer!!
I read a lot! A whole lot! Also on the site you mention. But at 1st i was stuck to TW Classic. Later i choose TW5 What is miss is that TW takes you by the hand. The basics are there.... a tiddler and linking them and tagging. That is clear. But the system/shadow tiddlers and the fields and such. What I need, and maybe more people, is a tutorial where: - you create some tiddlers - Work with tags - Link them with [[WikiWords]] and or tags - And then explain how to search and advance search - How to use the fields - How to search with those fields - Use real life examples, for instance i saw the ToDo Wiki with checkboxes... I could never find how to make those checkboxes And how the system was set up.... - How to change the look and feel of you page... I see great sites but cannot see how to do it... oke i read something about CSS... - And i visit sites which link to TW's that just dont exist anymore. My quest with TW started years ago. Then i found Evernote and stuck with that. But i want more flexiblity so i returned to TW. I really like it but i just can not find a good step by step tutorial. So am i too dumb? Is TW only for the nerds among us? I looked at the 'cards' site again. Saw the _Display-panel and behind it are two statements. Didnt tell me anything.... see what i mean? About the request for lines.... This is my idea...: ---- example tiddler ----- Talked with JimKerr this morning about ProjectBogus. !!!IDEA!!! Ask old collegues to giver their opinion about using new techniques for welding pipelines !!!IIDEA!!!! !!!SHOPPING!!!! Get some ice from the store!!!SHOPPING!!! etc etc --------------------------- Now these lines should be automagically be added after i press SAVE to the following Tiddlers SHOPPING (contains) ---------------- Get some ice from the store IDEA ------ Ask old collegues to giver their opinion about using new techniques for welding pipelines ----------------------------------------------------------------------- New lines should be appended to the tiddlers See what i mean??? I think TW has very great potential. It only should be made more accessable. Maybe we start a hangout or something? Or a YouTube video? Thanks again !!!
