Hey,

I hate to ask this, I dont understand Tiddlywiki. Can I log on my tiddlywiki from everywhere, more specifically is it saved online? 


Best Regards,

It depends...
Your basic tiddlywiki is just an html file that sits on your hard drive and stays there.. Like a word doc or a power point but in this case you edit it in your webbrowser (chrome, Firefox etc.).

If you want to access it from anywhere your essayist thing might be to use tiddlyspot.com to keep your tiddlywiki on the internet. (you may have to use chrome the first time you upload your Wiki. Firefox used to not work).

Hope that helps.

To expand a bit on this....

1) Go to TiddlyWiki.com and scroll down to the "Getting Started" tiddler.
2) Press the "Download empty" button and save the "empty.html" file on your local system
3) Close TiddlyWiki.com
4) Go to TiddlySpot.com
5) Enter a "site ID" (any unique name/word you like, e.g, "mysite") and password
6) Press "create wiki" ...

This will create an old-style "TiddlyWiki Classic" document online.  In the next steps, you will be *replacing* that default document with a new "TiddlyWiki5" document

7) From your local system, open the "empty.html" TiddlyWiki5 document that you previously downloaded
8) Click the "gear" icon (upper right "sidebar" column, below the wiki title/subtitle) to display the $:/ControlPanel
9) In $:/ControlPanel, select the "saving" tab and the "TiddlySpot Saver" sub-tab
10) In the "Wiki Name" input, enter your TiddlySpot site ID from step 5 above (i.e., "mysite")
11) In the "Password" input, enter your TiddlySpot password
12) From the sidebar, click the "save" icon (circled checkmark)

If all goes as expected, this will save the new TiddlyWiki5 document to your tiddlyspot location.

13) Close the local "empty.html" document
14) visit http://mysite.tiddlyspot.com (using the sitename you chose)

That should do it.  You can then use your shiny new TiddlySpot TiddlyWiki5 document online, and pressing the 'save changes' icon will update the online document.

Let me know how it goes...

enjoy,

Hi Anmeldn,


Where do I find my tiddler wiki? when I go online and search keywords, nothing will pop up. Again sorry, I am a complete tool about tiddywiki

You will find YOUR tiddlywiki wherever you saved it, presumably on your hard drive. As stated above, it is just like a "word document" but it is not in ".doc" file type but instead in ".html" , which is also the file type that web pages are in. Similarly to how MS Word reads word documents, so do browsers read html documents. It actually is possible to save any webpage to your own computer and look at that local copy via your web browser (but not everything in it will work).

Hi,


I included 2 drawings to show how a local html and a hosted file on tiddlyspot work.
