Questions

I posted a photo on my blog. I noticed it set the time to 12:00 am, even though that wasn't the timestamp on the photo. How do I set the time on a jpg? Also can I add a tag to this photo? Thank you!

This is a recurring problems from our site. I need help to delete this page. Somehow when I edited existing .md files, the older version of its page on the site remain and other new page will be created (in this case this page). Is there something on the code that I can check?

Is it possible to make the layout of my "photos" page into a gallery view similar to this example, instead of displaying it as a text list? For context, I currently use a tag to generate a page of all photos. Did I set this up correctly, or is there a better way to achieve a gallery layout?

Can you use metadata fields in Google Docs? I cannot seem to get it to work.

Is there any documentation that outlines the fundamental architecture behind the various sync options? While I’ve found setup guides for each method, I’m particularly interested in understanding how each one works under the hood. My goal is to select a sync method that best fits my needs while also being as straightforward and reliable as possible from your perspective. Of all the supported sync methods, which are considered the most robust and low-maintenance?

This is probably an obvious question, but is there a way on the Blog template for it show to the left (or right) on a desktop screen, but at the top on mobile? The default at the moment shows the navigation to the left and it completely squeezes out the main body.

Is there something I could put into the markdown of an entry to get the Updated date for that entry? I know I could maintain a date in the metadata, but I was wonder if there is some tag or whatever I could use to have that date automatically set with the last save date of the markdown file.

I am really trying to leverage the use of my markdown files across multiple applications without duplicating them. For that reason, I want to use Blot and the Notebooks app (by Alfons Schmid) on the same folder of markdown files in my iCloud Drive based Obsidian vault. The issue I anticipate is that Notebooks creates a plist file in the folder, and I don't want that file published or uploaded to Blot's servers. Normally, I can exclude a file with an underscore; I can prevent it from being published by applying "Draft: True" in YAML. But neither of these options are available with the plist file. In the past, I have used Blot.im's GIT option and I could create an exceptions list to exclude plist files, but I'd like to try using the (relatively) new iCloud Drive option. Can anyone tell me (a) if I can prevent the plist file from being uploaded and (b) if uploaded, would the plist file actually be published?

Within a post, I want to embed/add a Youtube video in such a way that it can be played right in the post, without going to Youtube. Please let me know how to achieve this. Thank you! I'm using a forked Blog template.

How can I hide the date in my entry.html template only for pages (not posts)? Alternatively, is it possible to use separate templates (page.html and post.html) for pages vs. posts? Or can I prevent date generation for pages entirely?

I tried adding an underscore to the folder name and also to the image name inside the folder, but then blot ignores the image in the markdown post. Any advice?

As a newbie... I'm somewhat confused with templates. The links on the templates page don't marry up with the links on the dashboard, i.e. in relation to the list of available templates. If I select one of the templates and choose "Install template" nothing seems to happen (other than the page changing to https://blot.im/sites). Also what's the significance of the Templates folder on my sites? Re. the option to download a template, what's the value of that, do I place the files in the Templates directory.

Can we exceed the total number of articles per page? It is limited to 60. Or, and this would be simpler, make the home page display the following 60 articles in the same way.

Every answer has an Edit answer link that allows me, who is not the author of every answer, to edit every answer. This seems...problematic? Is this a bug or am I just confused?

I used to have my website in an Apps subfolder called Blogs. That folder has now disappeared from my Dropbox. I don't see it on my desktop and I don't see it in Dropbox on the web. Yet, somehow, according to Blot, the site is located there, which I do not see in my Dropbox either. The site is still live, but, obviously, I'm not sure how I can post to the site or otherwise work with it if I can't find the folders. Is this a Dropbox problem or is it something on your end?

When setting up folder sync does blot only need readonly access to the share?

I currently have this block in archives.html: <div> {{#allEntries}} <a href="{{{url}}}">{{title}}</a> <span class="small">{{date}}</span> <br /> <div class="spacer8"></div> {{/allEntries}} </div> Instead of allEntries is it possible to remove entries that have tag x?

I recently set up a redirect of a tagged page to a gallery page but it doesn't seem to be working: From: /tagged/photos to: /gallery Clicking the photos tag below the post still sends me to the tagged page rather than the photo gallery I set up. How can I tweak this further to make it work? Thanks!
