As I hope everyone knows,  tiddlyspot.com <http://tiddlyspot.com/> was once 
created by Daniel and Simon Baird and they're still hosting it. A fantastic 
service that has become a cornerstone in the TW community - not to mention 
a fantastic display of generosity!

I use it for my everyday TWs but where it is truly unbeatable is for 
testing stuff, experimenting and demoing.

There are vague rumors that Daniel and Simon will update TiddlySpot to 
allow direct creation of TW5 versions (they didn't exist when TiddlySpot 
was designed)... but until then, we're stuck with the workflow of having to 
first register a tiddlyspot and then upload a TW5 to overwrite it. This is 
where the following might be useful - it is a slightly modified version of 
what I use for my "standard template" to quickly create a new tiddlyspot:

http://quicktiddlyspot.tiddlyspot.com/

Go there NOT using Firefox. Firefox browser unfortunately doesn't work for 
your first upload to tiddlyspot (after that it does work). So use e.g 
Chrome or Safari when you want to create a new TiddlySpot.


You'll see tiddler $:/EmptyStart

You can either import this tiddler to some other TW that you modify to be 
your default TW setup - or you can use $:/EmptyStart right there at 
http://quicktiddlyspot.tiddlyspot.com/


So, to create a new tiddlyspot you do't have to actually go to 
tiddlyspot.com. Instead you go to quicktiddlyspot and fill in the fields. 
It has a clipped iframe so it creates the new tspot when you (there) click 
"Create".

Then continue to fill in more info and upload it to that just created 
tiddlyspot.... and then click the link to go there.

In the new tiddlyspot you'll once again be met by this $:/EmptyStart where 
you can tweak and then delete that tiddler as you don't need it anymore.

It's more practical than pretty. Just like my aunt Martha.


<:-)

P.S Nooo... I'm just kidding about aunt Martha. She's has practical talent 
at all.
