Hey Damon,

The part that prevents it from showing when there aren't any backlinks is 
the ListWidget's filter attribute - the same part that shows it if there 
are backlinks. In other words, if that filter is empty (no backlinks) then 
nothing inside the list widget gets done. If the filter is NOT empty 
(meaning there ARE backlinks), then the list widget goes ahead and *does 
stuff.*

For example, if you go to tiddlywiki.com make a new tiddler and type:


<$list filter="[tag[HelloThere]]">

</$list>

you should see all of the tiddlers tagged with HelloThere. But if you type:

<$list filter="[tag[SomeNonsenseTag]]">

</$list>

you would see nothing!
