sorry if i wasn't very clear. basically, i got my tiddlywiki from npm and followed the instructions on github on how to install. when i need help, for example, on how to create a contents page, i would google something like 'tiddlywiki add contents page' (i always find search engines superior to a locally implemented search function). this returns a static version of a tiddlywiki, which is nearly what i am after. the links within these static tiddlers resolve to other tiddlers. this is the reason i believe the static site comes up in google searches more easily. unfortunately, you are then lacking the sidebar with the home button and contents etc.
whenever i learn anything it is nice to be able to browse a site and click to go back to where i was, or navigate easily. i find it simpler to absorb information in sites that have implemented mediawiki (such as wikipedia and the arch linux wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org). my complaint with tiddlywiki is that it is hard to navigate and keep track of where you are and what you are doing. this is why i find absorbing information from a tiddlywiki more difficult. i would prefer the tiddlywiki information to be presented like it would be in mediawiki. even better, i would hope for tiddlywiki to appear and work more like mediawiki from the perspective of a content consumer. however mediawiki is too complicated for my needs and the setup takes a long time. in this sense, i find tiddlywiki superior as it is simpler and easier to understand and implement. my only problem is with how the resulting tiddlywiki is presented and the drawbacks which come from not following a normal url-based website structure. i hope that makes my situation clearer. thanks again for all your responses.. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
