After a few searches on the web, it appears this is an elusive
property.

I would like to change the CSS for each tiddler so that the first line
of every paragraph after the first paragraph is indented.

I don't care to use nbspace or anything in the individual, given
tiddler.

Unfortunately, TiddlyWiki's formatter does not generate paragraph tags*,
but simply inserts line breaks instead. This makes it quite hard to do
this sort of thing (although there might be some clever workaround, I'm
not sure).

You could resort to using a different formatter:
http://plugins.tiddlywiki.org/plugins/search/?query=formatter

If you are so inclined, you could also write your own plugin to fix the
core's behavior - perhaps based on this:
http://svn.tiddlywiki.org/Trunk/contributors/FND/formatters/ParagraphFormatter.js

Thanks for the reply. That's essentially my searches had revealed to
me. I wishfully thought there was a different answer.

I am not sufficiently skilled to product a new plugin. Which plugin
(s) do you recommend? Thank you.

I don't use alternative formatters myself - but I think the
MediaWikiFormatter is rather mature and supports paragraphs.
