Thanks Tony,

About the fonts, The problem is I am not a CSS coder or developer... So I 
can read and follow instructions when they are not open to interpretation, 
for example, I found how to upload a font to fontsquirrel to download a 
webkit and then create a tiddler to make the font available. But when I 
read the following which is said to change the fonts of tiddler body text 
and headings:

.tc-tiddler-frame .tc-tiddler-body {
font-family: serif;
}

.tc-tiddler-frame .tc-tiddler-body > h1 {
font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", 
sans-serif;
}

.tc-tiddler-frame .tc-tiddler-body > h2 {
font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", 
sans-serif;
}

.tc-tiddler-frame .tc-tiddler-body > h3 {
font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande", 
sans-serif;
}

I don't know what to change - for  H1 above I read  "Helvetica Neue", 
Helvetica, Arial, "Lucida Grande"  and I'm confused - why specify 4 fonts, 
2 in quotes, 2 without? 

And for tiddler-body it looks like an incomplete font specification, just 
"sans serif"?

Is there any hope of getting through this even if I do not know CSS...? 

Also, about "Has the style applying to your smudgy test have a boarder", I 
haven't applied any stype, the text is like that and I do not know why.

I am not sure what this means: "you can use @@.classname Your Cell 
content@@" / is this how to pad cells or specifiy different cell colors..?

Thank you so much for the tips you suggested I am experimenting with them 
now!

Cheers

Patrick
