Blog entries and notes in the same site

I feel like Blot is capable of serving as place where I can both create blog entries and register notes. The first ones are more structured, and the second ones are the kind of things I've been using Obsidian to write.

This being said, I wonder if there is a way, using template tags or any other Blot feature I'm still unfamiliarized with, to completely hide my posts tagged as #notes from the homepage, while still being able to access a list of them separately, by, say, clicking mysite.com/notes/ in the menu. What I'd like to achieve by doing this is to have a mix of digital garden/ wiki/ blog in the same site.

Am I aiming too high? Thanks for any help.

You're not aiming too high. I do this myself on a site. I get the result I wanted, I put the obsidian vault inside the 'Pages' directory. I then use Obsidian's linking feature to connect the pages together.

Another option is to put the vault inside a 'tag directory', e.g. [Notes] and then filter this tag out of the list of posts on your homepage, archives page, but this will require editing your template

Please let me know if you have any questions about this or anything else

Thanks for the prompt answer!

I'll try both approaches to see what works better to me...

One related doubt that just occurred to me right now is if it is possible to create a template, say, notes-entries.html, where I could have only the notes posts listed (or, if I decide to drop my notes as pages, in the Pages folder, list all the pages tagged notes).

If it is possible, how would I make it accessible? I mean, once created, would it be accessible via mysite.com/notes-entries?
