What is this all about?

This guide is part of my ongoing attempt to contribute to the Tiki community. Tiki Essentials is the follow-up to Tiki for Dummies Smarties: A beginner's guide.

Read About this Guide for additional information.

Why "essentials"?

Because Smarties was already taken!

Why isn't Tiki Essentials available in [your favorite language]?

Because I speak English only. There is a translation link (using the Tiki Machine Translation feature, powered by Google). Additionally, other contributors have translated parts of Essentials too!

If you want to translate pages into your native language, here's how to get started
