Thanks for the kind words, Scott. I have had TW files by topic somewhat similar to your arrangement, but since I deal with so many topics in my ministry and my reading, I always find that when I have or find an idea, that it is too much mental work to figure out which file I need to put it in, and then go find the file and do it. That is why I have the alphabetical arrangement now. Figuring out "S" or "T" is easy. I considered just having a new file to dump things in each month, and use the index to find things, but the letter and number idea gives a better change of cross-linking between articles in multiple TWs. It's easier to create a link to the tiddler Faith in file F [ext[Faith|./f.html#Faith]] than to try to remember or figure out what month you created a tiddler on faith.
