It is interesting that an *empty.html* has a "*Fixed story, fluid sidebar*" while tiddlywiki.com uses a "*Fluid story, fixed sidebar*" Though this post is not about that anomaly <https://www.dictionary.com/browse/anomaly>, I hope someone will take it up at some point. I remember that this was very confusing for me as a beginner. I tried in vain to change the *Story right*, *Story width*, *Tiddler width*, & *Sidebar breakpoint*, in vain, wondering why I was stupid. It never occurred to me I had to change the *Sidebar layout* from "Fixed story, fluid sidebar" to "Fluid story, fixed sidebar" !! It took me over 6 months before I figured out how to mimic the behaviour of the TiddlyWiki on tiddlywiki.com - which I believe is a much more standard layout - a small area for navigating and a big area for viewing/editing. Because of the confusion I faced as a beginner, as part of the TiddlyWiki for Beginners <https://00ss.github.io/help/Adding-a-table-of-contents-to-the-sidebar.html> series I am working on trying to make the below tiddler on tiddlywiki.com a little clearer. How to widen tiddlers (aka storyriver) <https://tiddlywiki.com/#How%20to%20widen%20tiddlers%20(aka%20storyriver)> The last line of the tiddler says: *You will also probably want to change the sidebar breakpoint to something > larger than the story river, unless you don't mind the sidebar floating to > the top of the page.* > If I am not mistaken, the actual behaviour is: *You will want to ensure the sidebar breakpoint is smaller than the screen width ( {{$:/info/browser/screen/width}} px ), unless you don't mind the sidebar floating to the top of the page.* Here are some of my other observations: With a: *Fixed Story, fluid sidebar* The *Story right* should be larger than the *Story width* or else you will not be able to click on any sidebar areas on its left side that overlap the area given to the *Story width*. The *Tiddler width* should be less than the *Story Right* or else Tiddlers will overlap and cover the sidebar. Does anyone have any other tips for beginners for Tiddler Width / Sidebar Width setup?
