How can I include a copyright notice on the footer of my blog?

I was wondering how to use regular expressions in redirects. Consider the following case: I want to redirect users to my github page when they type domain.tld/github without the link being case sencitive. So all URLs including /github, /gitHub, or even /GitHuB would redirect to the same destination. I tried to type it as follows: /github/i, but thast didn’t work. Thanks!

I’m using the Blog template and wanted to add my own name — By XYZ — as a tagline/sub-head/caption that should appear right under the blog name (header) but in a smaller font (where I’d also like to change the font and color of the tagline).

Please let me know how to achieve this, thank you!

I noticed when enabling CloudFlare proxy, the site will end up in a redirect loop. This also happens when disabling the “Redirect subdomain on Blot to your custom domain” setting.

Anyone any luck with using CloudFlare proxy ontop of a blot blog?

Hello, I was wondering, now that there is a super easy way to share templates, do you any place where Blot users might preferably want to share/try external templates? Maybe a GitHub group or something like that? Tags work, but there is not an “official” GitHub repository tag to find them all in the same place.

Is there a way to add a description to a tag so that when viewing domain.com/tagged/tagname a block of text could be included?

I have only been able to generate in-line footnotes rather than footnotes that appear at the bottom of the page using the “[^1]” and “[^1]: footnote next” format. I also played around with various versions of this, but couldn’t get it to work.

Just as an aside, I am new to Blot and absolutely love it. I really appreciate having this platform. Thank you!

My test site is available at austinkocher.blot.im, though it’s still a bit of a mess right now as I get things set up.

Have been getting no reply from him for the past 2+ months on a technical issue, and there has been no github activity (including activity on blot) either

Just wondering if everything is okay

After I removed an image from google drive, the image post is still on my blog. How can I remove an image post properly?

I am trying to use “Extrinsic Calibration Algorithm between a Stereo Visual System and a 3D LiDAR” for the link text of a wikilink, but it does not work. However, “Extrinsic Calibration Algorithm between a Stereo Visual System and a LiDAR” works.

Is there any limitation for the link text?

I used the markdown layout tags to build a grid of images, but the last column formatting appears to be continuing to the following paragraph.

Scroll down here to see the example: https://semeiotica.com/

The markdown code is this:

{||||} ![1](/posts/crest/_cartouche.png)
    ![5](/posts/crest/_droplet2.png)
    ![8](/posts/crest/_sparc_logo.png)
{||||} ![3](/posts/crest/_gate2.png)
    ![6](/posts/crest/_NGI_logo200.png)
    ![9](/posts/crest/_KitLogo_Color@4x.png)
{||||} ![4](/posts/crest/_mondial.png)
    ![7](/posts/crest/_coclimate_logo_bl.png)
    ![10](/posts/crest/_ae_logo.png)
{||||} ![2](/posts/crest/_g.png)
    ![12](/posts/crest/_worldviews.png)
    ![11](/posts/crest/_genocartouche.png)

Is there any easy fix?

Hello, I saw a ticket for the pCloud in the potential new features page, is there traction on that? Thanks as always for the excellent work

I realize that using the following metadata:

Link: /

at the top of a post will make it a “landing page”, but what I can’t figure out is how to avoid the first line of text becoming the name of the page in my links list, without inserting an image at the top of the page (I discovered this fixed the issue by accident when I added an image at the top of certain pages).

But without an image, if I want a page named “contact” (for example”) I need to have “contact” at the top of the page.

I am trying to find a way to change page/1 to /blog/ as my post URL scheme is blog/{{slug}}. How is this possible?

I just want to display what is on page/1 on /blog/ instead.

Is there a way to set the order of posts? Maybe be pre-fixing filenames or something like that?

I’m looking to avoid repeating a specific block of code from within the individual post entries. Within a theme, this would be achieved using {{> Block}}.

Is there a way to do this within a post. Currently Blot hides this code. Do I need to put a path? {{> /templates/theme-name/Block }} or something similar?

In my blog, I use Japanese character as a title. Blot uses a title as a slug to create URL of an article. But we never use Japanese characters for URL.

I know that we can specify URLs of articles in Link metadata. But I use “date and title” for Permalink format. I’d like to specify only slug instead of title on metadata of each articles. If I specify “apple” on Link metadata in an article, URL of the article should be “YYYY/MM/D/apple”.

I seem to have 2 different blog on Blot and I want to remove them and start anew. Is there any way to delete blogs and start from scratch?

Please share the text-editor you like to use with Blot

Do you have recommendations for where to publish the .mp3 files? Is it possible to keep them in my Blot’s Dropbox or should I upload it to some site that is for uploading/sharing .mp3? For the latter, would you please also recommend some YouTube-equivalent good sites for uploading .mp3 files? Thank you!

I asked about this as a comment on this question but I guess you’d not have received notification for it, so created this new question. :)
