Setting up a TiddlyWiki on TiddlySpot To set up a [[TiddlyWiki Classic|TiddlyWikiClassic]], you merely create a new wiki at http://tiddlyspot.com !!TiddlyWiki5 on TiddlySpot ~TiddlyWiki5 also functions well on ~TiddlySpot but this version is not offered directly in the TiddlySpot set-up. The simplest way to create a new ~TiddlySpot with ~TiddlyWiki5 is probably through the community created site http://tiddlywiki5.tiddlyspot.com Alternatively, you can upload an existing ~TiddlyWiki5 document from your local disc to ~TiddlySpot by following these steps: # Sign up for a new wiki at http://tiddlyspot.com/, and remember the wiki name and password # Open your locally stored TiddlyWiki document in your browser # Fill in the TiddlySpot wikiname and password in ''Saving'' tab of the ''control panel'' <<.icon $:/core/images/options-button>> # Click the <<.icon $:/core/images/save-button>> ''save changes'' button. You should get a confirmation notification at the top right saying ''Saved wiki''. Saving can take several seconds if you're on a slow connection or working with a large wiki. # Navigate to your TiddlySpot URL at http://{wikiname}.tiddlyspot.com/ Note that your password is sent unencrypted when using TiddlySpot. From http://faq.tiddlyspot.com/: <<< ''Is Tiddlyspot secure?'' No. Tiddlyspot does not use SSL/https. Your password is sent in clear text when uploading and when authenticating to access a private site. This means that your Tiddlyspot is vulnerable to packet sniffing and your password could be discovered by a malicious third party. Also your data is transmitted unencrypted when you view your site, even if it is a private site. For this reason please don't put sensitive information such as banking details in your Tiddlyspot and don't use a password that you use for other high security sites. <<< !

Until this can be resolved, we suggest using Chrome. *# Use Chrome to open the local TiddlyWiki document you want to upload to TiddlySpot and follow the steps 1 through 5 described above *# Once you've checked the TiddlySpot-hosted TiddlyWiki loads properly in Chrome, you should be able to access, edit and [[save using TiddlyFox|Saving with TiddlyFox]] again * After you've uploaded your local document once, further editing and saving of the online version hosted on TiddlySpot should work with any modern browser of your choice. ** Don't forget to fill in the TiddlySpot wikiname and password in your TiddlySpot TiddlyWiki control panel for any new browser you want to use for saving changes * //See also : [[Upgrading]]//
