Wow. That C Pa post is super helpful for what I'm trying to do. I didn't 
know about the edit macros. Thank you!

Here's a great discussion and explainer by C Pa on templates and setting 
your own data structures:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/tiddlywiki/QUXd3kG1pTQ/RnYdTqLmAwAJ

Also, look for tiddler "Creating a simple Contacts DB" by Stephan Hradek 
 at 
http://tw5magick.tiddlyspot.com/ . A lot of people have used this as a 
starting for their own projects. Note that the code is a bit out of date, 
and he uses his own "new tiddler" macro which is no longer necessary.
