  1. Sign your content. Open UserName, delete the name that is there, and enter your own - First initial, Last name (e.g. JLaCava or LSaba, etc.) - save the tiddler.
  2. SAVE OFTEN (it's done mostly automatically by TiddlyDesktop)
  3. Read "How to use this Wiki: An evolving Guide" to keep up to date with this Wiki install.
  4. Prepare your content according to practices outlined below:

Markup Reference
Formatting CheatSheet

  • If adding brand new content, please create a journal entry.
    • Open your journal and select new journal here from the dropdown menu.
    • Please use a date format that will not cause confusion between US (month/day/year) and European (day/month/year) date
      • the following format is suggested April 24, 2020


  • Otherwise, add tiddlers as appropriate.
    • Do not orphan tiddlers. Make sure all tiddlers link to relevant content.
    • Tag appropriately, but do not overtag. When tiddlers have too many tags, tags fail to improve navigation.
    • Do not overcrowd a tiddler. If it makes sense to break out content into a new tiddler, then do it. The Wiki should be organized in a manner comparable to your thought process. Each entry should be a coherent record that (at least) links back to its past and laterally to related information, if not also leaving one or more forward trajectories open.

  • This is a living document. Many entries will need to be maintained and cotinuously re-edited, updated, and improved. Do not leave it for the next person.
    • If a Wiki linkage becomes broken or other errors occur, please deal with them ASAP as they arise - leaving them will only encure they remain broken and deteriorate the Wiki.

  • Please make lots of Notes and color commentary at the top, or in appropriate parts of each entry.
    • use Red for important "negative" details - such as things done wrong, or that may affect use or interpretation away from the desived or intended outcomes.
    • use Orange for useful "neutral" details.
    • Blue can be used for positive notes

e.g.
NOTE: I am something negative about this entry.

NOTE: While I am something neutral.
