David,

I saw that you suggest dragging and dropping a large number of tiddlers to 
install tiddlyblink in another wiki. I did a quick experiment that had such 
good results I thought I would share the result with you.

Drop the attached file on an empty tiddlywiki and *save and reload*. 

It is basically a plugin package with all the suggested tiddlers.

If you install it on your site a simple link in a tiddler 
[[TiddlyBlink Package]]
can be dragged and dropped on any wiki

All the tiddlers will be there also as shadow tiddlers as its a simple 
plugin

I must document what I did, if I can remember

Regards
Tony
