When I'm trying to add sitemap to my search console, it's not fetching it. URL: https://deeeen.xyz/sitemap.xml

Just thought I would share what worked for me for those looking to do the same thing. Add to your CSS file. /* Drop Cap */ .entry > p:first-of-type::first-letter { color: #A52A2A; float: left; font-size: 3em; margin: .1em .1em .1em .1em; line-height: 0.85; }

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 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. Thanks.

I changed the 3 colors (background, nav background, accent) in the template on the web, but anytime I publish a change to a page it reverts. Any help?

Blot has been broken for months. I have tried to mail support, but I got no answers. All my linked Pages have disappeared and only archive shows. If I go to: https://blot.im/sites/ekskog/template/mira the rendering is definetly weird on the Links. It shoes archive and Edit on top of it. I I click on edit, I get to https://blot.im/sites/ekskog/template/mira/links. On the right columnt of the page I can see only archive, and below I see +Add new link, which is clickable but directs to https://blot.im/sites/ekskog/template/mira/links#! and nothing happens. https://blot.im/how/files/pages displays an error page. I have ried to use differnet templates and no difference, I just can get my Pages to appear anymore..

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}} {{title}} {{/recent_entries}} //

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?

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 have a blog at tjhayes.com. I am trying to get Simple Analytics working. On their website, they say I should insert a few lines of code into my webpage. But, when I am on blot.im and edit my template, there are several pages listed. Do I add that Simple Analytics code to the "entries.html" page, or to a different one?

Blot connects (so far) only to Dropbox as data source. Some writing tools I work with only connect to iCloud. If I want to continue working with both, I would need a sync solution between an iCloud folder and a Dropbox folder. Does anybody know of some online services doing this?

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

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?

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?

In my other note taking apps (iA writer, Obsidian) an inline formula would be written as $f(x+y)=f(x)f(y)$ and a display formula would look like $$\int e^{ikx}\mathrm dx = 2\pi\delta(x)$$. As in, single dollar sign gives inline formula and double dollar sign a display formula. Note that inline/display dichotomy does not affect only where the formula goes, but also how certain commands display (like the limits of sums and integration change). Additionally, the formulas in those other apps look much cuter, less angular and more smooth Is there a way to change this behaviour? I would like the writing experience to be as close as possible to my other apps (i do a lot of maths typesetting, and I plan to do it on the blog too).

Hi there! The thumbnail generated for each of my posts was working until about March, such as this post, and then stopped working. Newer posts don't seem to be generating a thumbnail, and when I try to manually add the Thumbnail: to the metadata at the beginning of posts, neither URLs nor paths to files work. I'm using the Magazine template, but I tried other templates and similarly they don't show any thumbnails for newer posts. Is there still a way to re-generate thumbnails for posts? I found a previous question about this, but the link doesn't work anymore. This isn't a big issue, but the homepage looks much more engaging with images! Thank you. :)

I have a snippet of text I would like to appear in multiple places around my site. Is there a way I can 'include' it in the content of pages or reference it directly from a custom template? I know I could create a partial within my template but I'm trying (for now) to keep content and structure seperate.

I have an "about" Page, and a Post that links to it. At the bottom of the "about" Page, there is the Links here/backlinks section that appears at the bottom of regular Posts. I’d like to disable this for Pages, but keep it for Posts. I had a look through the entry.html template, and I can see the section that adds backlinks right above the section that adds pagination. Pagination is not shown on Pages, but backlinks are, but to my untrained eye, I don't see a difference between the way the sections for backlinks/pagination are set up in the template.

I recently learned about Djot which is derived heavily from CommonMark but has more features and is generally like a stricter Markdown. It's by John MacFarlane who is also behind Pandoc so the conversion is well-supported would look something like this: djot -t pandoc mydoc.dj | pandoc -f json -s -t gfm -o mydoc.md I'm incredibly interested in trying this out for authoring my blog content.

I'd like to add a copyright notice to the bottom of the sidebar in the Magazine theme. By "bottom" I mean the bottom of the viewport (regardless of screen - mobile, tablet, desktop). While I was poking around in the source code, I also saw this reference to a "top" button that should appear in the sidebar if the user scrolls the main content div below the height of the viewbox: <a id="top_button" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;width:3rem;height:3rem;line-height:3rem;" class="mb3 white bg-black-20 lh-title br-100 f3 db tc bn no-underline" href="#top">↑</a> As is, I could never trigger the button's appearance. But when I changed the "bottom:" value to anything but "0," the button did appear — and did function — as expected. I'd also be interested in moving this down to the bottom of the viewport. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
