Files
Files inside your folder become posts on your website. When you place a file that Blot can publish inside your folder, Blot will post it to your website.
Supported file types
- Markdown .txt .md .rtf
- Images .png .jpeg .gif .tiff .webp .avif
- Word Documents .docx .odt
- Google Docs .gdoc
- Bookmarks .webloc .url
- HTML .html
- Org Mode .org
Prevent a file becoming a post
Files and folders whose name starts with an underscore are ignored. Ignored files don’t become posts but you can embed them. For example:
| _Apple.jpg | Not published because the image’s name starts with an underscore. |
| _Fruit › Banana.jpg | Not published because the image is in folder whose name starts with an underscore. |
| Apple.jpg | Published because images are files which Blot can publish. |
