Issue with rendering entry-specific metadata

Hello. Thanks for blot.im. It's peaceful.

I am using the Blog template. I have a Markdown blog post under 001-building-my-own-webpage.md which has some custom metadata (including a Date) and is showing up fine on the website. This is the full metadata:

Menu: No
Tags: Tech, Web Development
Link: building-my-own-webpage
Date: 22-03-2024
Thumbnail: ../imgs/_banner_sgs_right_1.jpeg
Pois: yeah

Here's an extract of my entry.html

<div class="entry">
        {{#entry}}

        {{{html}}}

        {{#tags.length}}
        <div class="wide">
          <hr class="minimal">
        </div>
        <div class="left-label">
          <h5>Tags</h5>

          {{#tags}}
          <a class="small tag" href="/tagged/{{slug}}">{{name}}</a>
          {{/tags}}

        </div>
        {{/tags.length}}

        <div>
          <p>Posted by {{metadata.Date}}</p>
          <p>Posted by {{metadata.Pois}}</p>
        </div>

        {{#date}}
        <hr class="minimal">
        <div class="left-label">
          <h5>Date</h5>
          {{date}}

        </div>
        {{/date}}

While the tags show correctly, nothing else appears at the end of the entry:

Other symptoms which suggest something is not correct in entry rendering: RSS feed is empty, Archives > Newest also doesn't show any post.

I feel I'm missing something simple, but can't quite put my finger on what. Let me know what else can help in troubleshooting. Thanks in advance.

Would you mind sending us a link to the post? I'll take a look at the specifics

I'm concerned that a post is appearing on your site but not on your feed. Possibly there's some bug interfering with it. Your template seems sound at first glance
