Jimmy, I second what Mat said
> Jimmy - warmly welcome! And you're joining the Tiddly spirit right away, > sharing stuff - wonderful! There are many ways to access and share Tiddlywiki some are server or app based, others are manual or procedural. Personally I use a GitHub or PHP (and tw-receiver) hosted tiddlywiki but I would prefer an internet facing "Bob" server for multi-user and multi-access. Your instructions are each to follow and very helpful, even free dropbox is enough to host a lot of tiddlywiki. Question? - Do you have to be careful accessing the same dropbox wiki from two devices at once? Thanks to much for you contribution.
