Questions

I'm using the default magazine template, and am wondering how it choses which tags to show in the left-hand menu. It seems like it's limited to 5 – is it the first 5 that are used in posts, or the top 5 most frequently used? I'm wondering how to change them. Thanks! :)

Is there a way to exclude some tags from being listed in the {{#popular_tags}} list? Thanks, Ray

I know backlinks on pages do work when posts reference a page... But pages themselves aren't included in backlinks when they are linked to, whether from posts or other pages. Is there a way to enable it so pages are included in the backlink queries? I ask because I am putting my Zettelkasten into pages which is more suitable for that since I will be blogging on top of it. Thanks,. Ray

Is there a way to enable search for certain pages? I am talking about "user-defined" pages, i. e. stuff in /Pages or with Page: yes, not something like the archives page. Posts work perfectly, but pages, no matter whether they are stored inside or outside of /Pages, do not work, even with the following metadata: Search: yes Is this supposed to work somehow? Considering quite a few people use Blot for / as their "digital garden" / notes / information store, being able to search these pages would be very helpful.

A couple of folk have asked me if I would send new posts to them via email. I'd love to do this, but don't have the energy for a big system setup or complicated workflow. Also clearly not worth a large amount of dollars, given the numbers and my focus. Has anyone done this in a simple fashion with blot?

They seem to be working but wanted to confirm support for WebP images?

I apologize if I missed this in the documentation but I cannot seem to figure it out. What determines what is show in "Up Next" as compared to "Latest Posts"? Thank you!

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 !

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."

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?

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

Hi everyone. Curious how people use git syncing with Android. There is no working copy app on android. I found an app called git sync on the play store and I could use termux I guess. Now I use dropbox and its very easy to publish blog posts. If I were on iOS it would be pretty easy to switch. Thanks for any pointers. BTW, I just use Markor the markdown text app to write with these days.

The title kind of asks the question. I am not a big enough Dropbox user where I have the app on my Mac, so I update all via Git. It works great, outside of the drafts feature. Right now I push a commit and then a minute later I will just do a pull request to get the preview. Is this the best practice to be able to preview or is there a better way?

I'd like my posts to have no title at all. On my blot page, there is no title but when imported into micro.blog, the first line appears as the title. Is there a way to remove the title altogether so it doesn't appear elsewhere?

Could I make a feature request for showing Exif data when posting photos? Focal length, ISO, aperture, shutter speed.

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?

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.

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.
