I've picked up blot because I really like taking notes in Obsidian, and your site seemed like an amazing alternative to their publishing service, really enjoying it so far. I use quite a few javascript extensions in my notes, things like Mermaid.js and most recently jTab for Guitar Tablature. I was wondering if there was a way to incorporate these into my posts? I've converted a markdown (.md file) to HTML, and have the requisite javascript calls in the header of the file, but it seems no matter which way I try to get the calls to jTab working, it never does. Just viewing the .html file in browser everything renders as expected, but not in the post on blot. Is there just no support for Javascript in your HTML files? Or is there some other backend thing I need to do to get things working? I'd really like to not have to snip seperate pictures of everything I have rendered in my notes through JS stuff, as I'll probably end up having quite a bit as my post count grows.

I am writing a post to share some setting, seems the variables will be disappeared if there is a conflict of template. Here's what I have on iA Writer and this is what it looks like after rendering by Blot.

I don't believe there's a built-in way for folks to subscribe to new blog posts via email. Is that something on the roadmap? Or does anyone know of a relatively easy third-party solution?

I am a data analyst. I primarily work and document using Jupyter Notebook. I am looking for a blogging platform where I can drag and drop a .ipynb file, and it renders into a blog post. Can it be done with blot?

At the moment a citation of the form [@reference] renders as Author (YYYY) but i would prefer to have it as (Author YYYY). Is there a way to do this?

How do I get markdown to display an image caption?

I would like for display formulas to float at the centre of the column, rather than stick to the left. Is there an easy fix for this?

How does Blot work in regards to having affiliate links within my blog post? How will it appear? I am a totally blind blogger, so I want to make sure that my links don't look weird.

This is used about two minutes into the demo video on Blot's homepage

I'm new to all this and palying around a bit. I use Obsidian as MD editor and am publishing my first post. When I write my post I want to add an image to it. That image is in the same folder as the post. Now when Blot picks things up it shows both the image and the blog post on the homepage. Can I avoid that? What is your folder strategy when working with images??
