Questions

Is it possible to embed images from Flickr and/or Smugmug? They are not mentioned in the documentation so I assume it's not possible.

The message i get is this: "This app is blocked This app tried to access sensitive info in your Google Account. To keep your account safe, Google blocked this access."

Is it possible to remove certain categories tags from the feed?

I have been trying various ways to have an rss feed defined by a YAML category holding the information about the language in which the post is written. Is there a way to achieve this? I got it to work with tags but would prefer that category not to show as a tag. Any pointers will be much appreciated.

I was able to get the title to display on the entry itself by adding this line to the top of the entry.html template: <h1>{(entry.title}}</h1> However, on the home page where all entries are shown, there's no titles, which makes it hard to tell one post from another. How can I add the titles to the entries page too?

Google blocked blot so I cant connect to my drive and update my site. has this happened to anyone else and how did you get around it?

Hi everyone. New user here. I tried searching but couldn't find this. My blog with custom domain does not have HTTPS. How can I enable this? Thanks !

Codeberg is an alternative to Github and can also be linked to Github. I would like to make my Blot website based on a Codeberg repo. How can I do that?

I created an "About" page on Medium (https://medium.com/@lev.lc/about) with several inline links back to my Blot site notes. However, I noticed that all the links render as .md files, including the landing page of my site, which has never happened before. Is this a feature of how Medium handles outbound links, or is it a feature of Blot? I notice that medium adds ?source=parameters to the links... Has anyone linked to their Blot sites from Medium or perhaps had a similar experience with other platforms?

Hi! Is there a way to sort entries by modified date, or by some custom numeric metadata field in posts? For example, if I have something like: {{#allEntries}} {{#tagged.Home}} <li><a href="{{url}}">{{title}}</a></li> {{/tagged.Home}} {{/allEntries}} Can I specify the order in which these entries appear? Even the ability to sort by modified date might be enough, since I can "touch" each file to put them in the correct order. Thank you!

I can't seem to make Blot use the filename (both {{name}} or {{name-without-extension}}) as default link — it keeps processing the file title. My folder has markdown files with yaml front-matter titles, I wish to use title: for page metadata, but I don't want the longer URLs or filling the parameters for link: for every file. Is this a bug? I tried to reset the folder - it didn't work.

Hello, I'm an avid Blot user. I currently find the Twitter/X post embedding feature very useful for my writing on Blot. As I've recently started using Bluesky alongside Twitter, I was wondering if it would be possible to add support for embedding Bluesky posts, similar to how Twitter posts can be embedded. Given the steady growth in Bluesky's user base, I believe adding Bluesky post embedding functionality would be beneficial for many users. I would greatly appreciate it if you could consider this feature request. Thank you for your time.

Hey everyone, where can I find the option to edit locally? I duplicated several templates to try to find that option, even went through the site source to try to find it.

I'm sorry after three months without support and a broken site, I've decided to cancel the subscription and to try and look for an alternative. It's a pity because I like the unique simplicity of this publishing model—this is how the web should be for ordinary folks. Good luck.

Hey! I remember that it was possible to enable TeX server side rendering, but now I can't find this option under Publishing settings. Is this still available? Blot uses KaTeX on the server side and does not require the visitor to enable JavaScript

On the old Blot.im site it was easy to rearrange the order of our website's pages as they appeared at the top of our template. I'm struggling to find out where/how to do this on the new Blot.im site. Any help appreciated

I see to edit the menu it's not under editing your template the website. However the section does not seem to be usable in the browser. Everything is all over the place and it's hard to click things because of odd alignments. Is there a way to edit menus when just editing a template locally?

I am working on a static homepage and part of that I would like to have a section where It just lists the 5 most recent posts with no summary. Output would be something like: TITLE posted on DATE I tried just getting list of all entries as a start but just showing blank area {{#recent_entries}} <p><a href="{{url}}">{{title}}</a></p> {{/recent_entries}}
