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.

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, none of these files become posts:
| _Apple.jpg | Not published because file name starts with an underscore. |
| _Fruit › Banana.jpg | Not published because file is in folder whose name starts with an underscore. |
| Apple.jpg | Published because it’s a type of file Blot can publish. |
