Follow these steps to get started! These guidelines are for Firefox 3.0.1 running on Microsoft Windows XP, Service Pack 3. Hopefully they will be helpful for your setup too.

If these guidelines aren't appropriate, check the other browser-specific guidelines to find some that are right for you.

Step 1 - Download file

You'll need to choose a name and location for your empty TiddlyWiki file - we recommend either your Desktop or My Documents folder. Make sure you leave the "Save as type: Firefox Document" default option as it is. Then click 'Save'.

Step 2 - Open file

Double click on the file name in the Download dialogue box, shown below. This will open your TiddlyWiki file, and you'll be able to start editing immediately - but you'll need to complete Step 3 below to save your changes.

Step 3 - Enable advanced features

When you try to save changes for the first time in a browser session, this dialogue box will appear. These features will enable the saving mechanism. Tick the 'Remember this decision' checkbox and then click on 'Allow'.

Step 4 - You're ready to start!

You're now ready to start playing with your TiddlyWiki file - be sure to check out the guidelines in Getting Started!
