Why is my background-color not being respected?

Can anyone tell me why the background-color value is being ignored on this page? (Please excuse the mess when viewing source.) It had been working fine many months (ie the background was blue; the text was white), and then — without me making any changes to the page — it started displaying as a white page. I've exhausted my own skills in trying to get the background set to #0165ff again, and I'm starting to wonder whether I've broken something further upstream: style.css; head.html or similar.

Will changing link format break things?

For the past few years I've been using a {{YYYY}}/{{M}}/{{slug}} format for my links. I'm reconsidering not having that leading 0 for the month. What will happen to old posts if I change it to {{YYYY}}/{{MM}}/{{slug}}?

Wikilinks with iA Writer?

I'm not sure what changed for me moving from dropbox to git to sync my blog. I cannot seem to get wikilinks to show up after syncing the repo with some writing I've done. They show up properly in IA Writer version 7 and always showed up correctly previously.

Empty summary metadata is rendered as the text 'null'?

By default, I include a "Summary:" line in post metadata. I don't always add a Summary, but if I leave it empty it renders {{summary}} as null in the template. I tried adding a conditional like so: {{#summary}}{{summary}}{{/summary}} ...but that still renders as null unless I remove the Summary line from the front matter completely. I'd prefer it if I could leave an empty Summary: value in the post metadata without it rendering as null. Possible?

Org-Mode link syntax?

Typically when linking to another file in org-mode you would use this syntax: file:path/to/file.org However this doesn't work in blot. I'd love if this syntax would be implemented as C-c C-l defaults to this behavior. If this isn't possible with blot, what is the preferred syntax?

Thumbnails on /page/1

Is there a way to display the thumbnails on ~/page/1? I'm using a variation of of the Blog template, but I want my homepage to not be the list of blogposts, so instead I have a link to https://www.patternsthatabide.xyz/page/1 on the top bar. So it'd be cool if it displayed thumbnails there.

Can a Layout tag be applied to image posts via the template?

I'm using the Magazine template for a photoblog. For posts with multiple images, I create a Markdown file with image embeds and a float right {>>} tag on square or landscape images so they are displayed in a similar size as portrait images. However, when posting single images directly, I'm unable to add those tags since there's no Markdown. Is it possible to add the applicable .css class to square and landscape ratio image posts through the template directly? Two examples links from my site: multi image post vs single image post
