Dear BJ, thank you for detailing on the process. I now managed to create my first clip and I would like to summarize my journey in a slightly criticizing fashion:
1. Go to http://tiddlywiki.com/ 2. Download empty tiddlwiki to a local folder 3. I typed "git init" in my local folder to keep track of all my changes 4. Install the Firefox extension TiddlyFox from the same page 5. Navigate to http://tiddlyclip.tiddlyspot.com/ 6. Click on "New to Tiddlyclip? - click here" 7. Find the text "Try It Now" and click on it to find the Firefox extension 8. Download and install the Firefox extension from https://github.com/buggyj/tiddlyclip/raw/0.0.5-alpha/tiddlyclip.xpi 9. Click on "Getting Started" 10. Move the link "$:/plugins/bj/tiddlyclip" via drag and drop to the green bar appearing in my local tiddlywiki installation 11. Click on Import: TiddlyFox will automatically save this changes, this changes can be observed by comparing empty.html before and after the last step with git. Intrestingly enough the tiddlywiki title changes from "TiddlyWiki — a non-linear personal web notebook" to "My TiddlyWiki — a non-linear personal web notebook". 12. Reload the browser window. This will show a small black paperclip icon next to the grey tiddlywiki icons. 13. "Getting Started" doesn't help you further. Thus, navigate back to "Try It Now". 14. It now tells you to right click on "this" tiddlywiki (which is not my local installation). This confused me because I want to clip things to my local installation. I ignored this instruction and right clicked on my local installtion. 15. Now it tells you to click on "dock here". I ignored this and clicked on "Tiddlyclip Setup" and "dock to this tiddlywiki". It worked when the submenu now shows the name of your local installation with a small star in front of it. 16. Open a new webpage in the same browser window (it can be a different tab but not a different Firefox window). 17. Mark a text and instead of clicking on "tiddlyclip as" click on "Tiddlyclip using Default" and click on "Snip". 18. The git history will now indicate success. 19. Reload your local tiddlywiki and find your new tiddler by clicking on "Recent". As you see, I spent most of the time navigating through http://tiddlyclip.tiddlyspot.com/ to find all the necessary details. I propose to simplify the process with the following two suggestions: 1. Let's reduce the installation and creation of the first tiddler to a single tiddler on your webpage. 2. Let's change the introduction to match the name changes in the Firefox extension.
