Questions

Hi, I need help to delete a page that still appeared after I deleted the file (I have similar problem before but already resolved it by changing the drive folder). This page (link) was a menu page that I replace with a new one but then appeared in archive. Can you please look into this? Thank you.

If I search for a phrase (multiple words), the results seem to include posts with either word rather than both/all words. I would prefer the search use AND not OR by default (without something like typing "AND" in the query). Is there any way to change the behavior? Currently, the results get very "noisy" because many of the results aren't relevant. Thanks.

At the moment, Blot supports fours ways to sync a folder: Dropbox Google Drive Git iCloud We're currently working on adding others – which tools or services would you like us to support?

Anyone care to share the URLs to their Blot blogs here? I know David has a few listed in examples on the front page, but I'm sure there's many more. Would love to see others to follow (and gain inspiration!)... Here's mine: Along the Ray: https://alongtheray.com

I'm not sure how many people use this feature but I lean on it pretty heavily for photo spreads--looks like it's not working anymore in my iteration of the Magazine template. Anyone else having this issue?

I'm trying to add a simple animation to page content when it loads, targeting the class main. This works all well and good but it disrupts the image zoom overlay (the images don't display in the lightbox). Is there any way to target this div but ignore the native zoom effect? I don't know much about the zoom effect stuff but wondering if there's a way. .main { opacity: 0; transform: translateY(10px); animation: fadeInMoveUp 0.3s ease-out forwards; } @keyframes fadeInMoveUp { to { opacity: 1; transform: translateY(0); } }

I have a content which still appear after I delete the file in my GDrive folder. Previously I have explored multiple ways of making different menus to categorize my contents like "Projects" and "Notes" menu (which will have different type of contents/files). The introduction "Projects" file which I created earlier still stuck in the home page. How to delete this content or reset the template?

If I am on a blog post page with tag x, y and z, is it possible to only show other items that have tags x y or z?

Hi, Can you help? I'm new to Blot, so apologies if this is a newbie question. I've posted an image on this page: https://brokenbiscuit.blot.im/doc-photo I'm using this reference: a notebook and pen Blot is seeing the title, but not showing the image. What am I doing wrong? thanks Nigel

Hello, I'm thinking about changing the license of Blot's source code. At the moment, Blot's source code is licensed under CC0, a public domain dedication that allows unrestricted use, modification, and redistribution without attribution or copyleft obligations. I am considering switching the license to AGPLv3, a copyleft license which requires that anyone who modifies and distributes (or provides network access to) Blot must release their modifications under the same license. This shift would prevent proprietary use of Blot's code and ensure that any derivative works remain open-source. Obviously this would only apply to new contributions going forward. Why? I'm developing one-click deployable containers to make Blot simple to self-host I anticipate there will be other people offering hosting services for Blot, especially in different countries / legal jurisdictions I want to ensure these services keep their source code public Please let me know if you have any objections, thoughts or questions.

Do you support the slug/URL with folder, like the posts under journal will be rendered to https://xxx.xxx/journal/xxx?

Hi, does Blot support to use different templates for different folders? For example, to use Blog(templeate) for main/root folder, and I can create another folder for CV with CV (template)? Thank you.

I'm pretty close to what I want at https://rapidresponsechoir.org, but the index.md file with: --- Link: / --- # Rapid Response Choir seems to stuck at a date in February and I'd like the most recent posts to be listed underneath. I'm using the Magazine template. Also, how do I get consistent top banner photo across all pages? Thanks! - PeterB

I noticed that if I change the template variables in the Templates/Portfolio view (either in the code directly or in the template preview/editor), those variables will change back to default at some point in the future. I didn't measure exactly how long does it take to go back to the default, but basically every time I go back to my website and check it, the variables are default. I can instantly see it cause the main variable I'm trying to change is the "Thumbnail size". Here's my website: https://lotafak.blot.im/ Please advise! Thank you

Is there a best practice for blocking AI bots on a Blot site? I can include a robots.txt sourced from here: https://github.com/ai-robots-txt/ai.robots.txt But that's very soft step. What else might I do? I saw that Cloudflare has an AI blocking feature, but I'm not sure if I can use Cloudflare with Blot: https://blog.cloudflare.com/declaring-your-aindependence-block-ai-bots-scrapers-and-crawlers-with-a-single-click/ Any other ideas?

It appears you can set the title of an image like so. I'm wondering if there could be an option to allow using the title instead of alt text for the image caption. Could be a nice convenience over putting in HTML for a caption. Or is there already a good way to set a separate caption that I'm missing?

I have my homepage set up to display my posts in full. Problem is, google crawls and indexes the home page and then links to it. Eg: my.blog/page/2 As I make new posts, the relevant post moves further down the page list, and the link goes stale. How can I get Google to link to the article itself and not the homepage? Thanks!

Hello, I have a custom date field that looks like this: update: 2015-05-12. I've seen there are ways to format dates for built-in fields. Is there a way to do so for custom fields? Alex
