Mario, Jed, Thanks for the feedback, very helpful. And having watched the first half hour or so of the tiddlyspot hangout I do fee I understand the whole set up much better.
Mario, Seeing your videos has been a great help and you’ve also given me some confidence that, as long as I am happy to work locally, my tiddlyworld does not have to come to an end. Will come back to you if I get stuck trying to rebuild into TW5, but thanks for all your time building the tools and helping me out today.
