Questions

Blot has access and set up the first empty folder, but I can't find it in my google drive.

Not a question but just a request to have the docs updated. It appears that Slug: does the same exact thing as Link:. Was trying to use Slug: as my own metadata and found this out.

Had my URL previously at micro.blog which uses feed.xml. So I tried various things including /feed.xml https://blog.mydomain.me/feed.rss with no luck. the feed.xml still returns a 404. Tried various other things but nothing works. Is this possible to redirect?

Are you willing to share any Shortcuts you use to simplify your publishing workflow?

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?

For example, a post title (and file name) is foo. Can the post URL be mysite.com/bar?

I see that in the intro video available in the website, some cool file layouts and formats were shown. Can I get access to those sample layouts to see whats actually possible with Blot?

Most – though not all – of my blog posts, which are written in md, appear to have an html equivalent. The filename is exactly the same, just with the html extension, e.g. filename.md has a filename.md.html twin. What is causing this and what should I do now to clear out the current html files and in the future to stop them appearing in the first place? I'm using Git to sync my posts, if that makes any difference. Thanks.

When I put a folder with images into the root directory of the blog template, all images inside the folder are automatically loaded to the blog's start page. Is there a way I can replicate this mechanism for a page? And if so, how would I need to setup/name my files/directory? I assume there is a way, since the portfolio template does exactly what I want to achieve (every series of photos get's its dedicated link off the start page) but unfortunately the link to the download of the sample folder doesn't work anymore.

there seems to have taken place some change to the templating system? I've always edited my template in the web interface, but that isn't possible anymore apparently. Which is fine, but with this change, my blog reverted to an old version of my theme, before I'd made some crucial changes that, frankly, will be hard for me to reproduce. Is there any way for me to get the latest version of my theme back?

I'm having trouble moving from markdown to org-mode (my favorite markup). In markdown # converts to an h1, ## converts to h2, ### converts to h3 and so on. In org-mode * converts to h1, ** converts to h2, however *** converts to an ordered list. I would prefer for there to be parity between markdown and org-mode so that all heading levels regardless of format would convert to their respective HTML heading tags.

I was attempting to rename Archive to Index (which I did), but then started toying with the page name and realized that would break what was defined in packages.json. Now setting the value back to /archives in the dashboard for that link still results in a 404 error. Did I break it? ;) Tangible Life

I would appreciate the opportunity to host an independent photo portfolio as well as a blog. However, I am currently unable to locate the method to incorporate a second website within my dashboard.

Any one using tinylytics.app with the Kudos option enabled? I am sure in my index or entries file its in the wrong place (Magazine) but tried it in several locations. To show one kudos button on the page create an element on the page with a class of .tinylytics_kudos. That allows the script to locate it and show a relevant kudos button and count. Here is a good example of what it should like: <button class="tinylytics_kudos"></button> To show multiple kudos buttons on the same page, for example on an index page full of posts, use similar markup as above, with a few tweaks. <button class="tinylytics_kudos" data-path="/the-path/to/your-post" ></button> Note the extra data-path="" attribute. If you set this, it will make sure to only grab the correct Kudos count for the path you entered here. If you leave this out, it'll use the current page path: just like the single kudos button above. Note that paths need to be correct and prepended with a forward slash (if none is set): "/". If you leave it out, then kudos might not be recorded correctly.

At the moment, Blot supports three ways to sync a folder: Dropbox, Google Drive and Git. We're currently working on adding others – which tools or services would you like us to support?
