Journal tiddlers are tiddlers that use a date and/or time as their title. They are typically used as a quick way to record time-stamped information.
Additional tags on a journal tiddler can be used to link it to other tiddlers, helping to establish the relationships between items of information.

For example, a journal tiddler called ''10th October 2014'' might be used to record thoughts and information captured on that particular day. The tags ''Shopping'' and ''London'' might be used to indicate that the entry concerns shopping in London.

! Creating a journal tiddler
The easiest way to create a journal tiddler is to use the ''new journal'' button in the ''Tools'' tab of the sidebar. If you find yourself often using the button then click the checkbox to display the button in the page control toolbar where it is more easily accessible.
The easiest way to create a journal tiddler is to use the ''new journal'' button in the ''Tools'' tab of the sidebar. If you find yourself often using the button, click the checkbox next to it to make the button available just above the search box.
The new journal button creates the journal tiddler as a blank tiddler with the tag ''Journal'' and a title derived from today's date. If there is already an existing journal tiddler then it is opened for editing.

! Creating a tagged journal tiddler
A common sequence of actions is creating (or re-opening) today's journal and adding a tag for the current tiddler. This can be done with the ''new journal here'' button in the tiddler toolbar (you can find this button in the tools tab of the tiddler info panel).
A common sequence of actions is to create (or reopen) today's journal entry and tag it with the title of another tiddler. This can be done with the ''new journal here'' button in the other tiddler's toolbar. You can find this button in the ''Tools'' tab of the tiddler's InfoPanel.
For example, one might be reviewing a tiddler called ''Oxford Street'' and realise that it is relevant for planning the shopping trip. Clicking the ''new journal here'' button on the ''Oxford Street'' tiddler will bring up a journal tagged with ''Oxford Street''.

! Customising journal tiddlers
Visit the control panel Info/Basics tab to configure new journal creation:
To configure how new journal entries are created, visit the ''Basics'' tab under ''Info'' in the [[control panel|$:/ControlPanel]]:
* "Title of new journal tiddlers" specifies the naming of journal tiddlers as a [[date format string|DateFormat]]. The default setting of `DDth MMM YYYY` causes new journals to have titles of the form "10th October 2014"
* "Tags for new journal tiddlers" specifies one or more optional tags that are automatically applied to new journal tiddlers. Multiple tags should be separated with spaces. Tags containing spaces should be surrounded by double square brackets. For example: `Journal [[Multi-word tag]]`
* "Title of new journal tiddlers" specifies how these tiddlers should be named, as a [[date format string|DateFormat]]. The default setting of `DDth MMM YYYY` causes new entries to have titles of the form "10th October 2014"
* "Tags for new journal tiddlers" specifies tags that will automatically appear on new journal entries. Type a space between each tag and the next. If any of the tags //contains// a space, place double square brackets around it. For example: `Journal [[Summer vacation]]`
One useful hint is to use a title format such as `YYYY-0MM-0DD at 0hhh0mm'0ss''` which causes the time (including seconds) to be included in the journal title. This means that a new, separate journal tiddler will be created each time the button is clicked.
Hint: if you want to create a separate journal tiddler whenever you click ''new journal'' (even if you do this several times in the same day), you can include the clock time in the title format. Specify something like `YYYY-0MM-0DD at 0hhh0mm'0ss''` as the date format.
Another useful trick is to include the string `$(currentTiddler)$` in the journal title format string which causes the title of the current tiddler to be included. This means that a separate journal tiddler will be created each time "new journal here" is used on a different tiddler.
Another useful trick is to include `$(currentTiddler)$` somewhere in the title format. This means that if you click ''new journal here'' on several different tiddlers, the title of each of those tiddlers will form part of the name of the resulting journal entries.
