Blot turns a folder into a blog. When you put files inside your blog’s folder they become blog posts. Consider watching the video below to see it work in practice. You’ll see how to publish posts and more:
You can sync your folder to Blot with Dropbox or Git.
.txt .md
Use the full range of Markdown features to add formatting to your blog posts. Blot also renders mathematics and provides syntax highlighting for code snippets.
.png .jpeg .gif
Put images directly into your blog’s folder. Blot generates optimized versions to deliver to your readers. Use the path to add tags or change the publish date.
.docx .odt
Supports files created by Microsoft Word, Pages, Google Docs and OpenOffice. Much formatting is stripped so posts match the style of your blog.
.webloc .url
Drag URLs from your browser’s address bar to create blog posts from bookmark files. Use the file’s path to add tags or change the publish date.
.html
Published as-is. Metadata can be parsed from a comment at the start of a file.
Files and folders whose name starts with an underscore are ignored. Ignored files don’t become blog posts themselves but they can be embedded in posts.
Files in a folder called Drafts are not published. Instead, Blot creates a preview file which updates as you make changes to your draft. You can share the preview file with others. Preview files work on other computers that are connected to the internet.
The files in your blog’s folder are public. This is useful if you want to embed an image, a video or an audio file in a blog post. You can also use this to share files with your readers. For example, given the folder below, your readers can download Archive.zip if they visit /Files/Archive.zip on your blog.
