How to hide text if it's the homepage

I'd like to hide a link on my homepage. I thought using the below conditional on the page variable would work but it didn't work and the text is hidden everywhere. Any ideas? {{^page}}The text I want to hide.{{/page}}

Wikilinks with iA Writer?

I'm not sure what changed for me moving from dropbox to git to sync my blog. I cannot seem to get wikilinks to show up after syncing the repo with some writing I've done. They show up properly in IA Writer version 7 and always showed up correctly previously.

Empty summary metadata is rendered as the text 'null'?

By default, I include a "Summary:" line in post metadata. I don't always add a Summary, but if I leave it empty it renders {{summary}} as null in the template. I tried adding a conditional like so: {{#summary}}{{summary}}{{/summary}} ...but that still renders as null unless I remove the Summary line from the front matter completely. I'd prefer it if I could leave an empty Summary: value in the post metadata without it rendering as null. Possible?

Org-Mode link syntax?

Typically when linking to another file in org-mode you would use this syntax: file:path/to/file.org However this doesn't work in blot. I'd love if this syntax would be implemented as C-c C-l defaults to this behavior. If this isn't possible with blot, what is the preferred syntax?

What is the best way to import wordpress comments?

Can a Layout tag be applied to image posts via the template?

I'm using the Magazine template for a photoblog. For posts with multiple images, I create a Markdown file with image embeds and a float right {>>} tag on square or landscape images so they are displayed in a similar size as portrait images. However, when posting single images directly, I'm unable to add those tags since there's no Markdown. Is it possible to add the applicable .css class to square and landscape ratio image posts through the template directly? Two examples links from my site: multi image post vs single image post

Specifying the thumbnail for social media?

How can I ensure that the first image in my post is displayed as the default image when sharing the link on social media?

Can I set a default blog post to display when people go to my blog site?

I would like a specific blog post to be the default home page of my blog, so that I have a consistent single welcome page. Is this possible?

Org-mode links to other Org files?

In emacs, I can auto-fill the [[file:...]] style link from a set of known files. The problem is when linking to org-mode files, it looks something like [[file:foo.org]] but this doesn't work with blot's internal linking system. So I have to remove the .org to something like [[file:foo]] which does work with blot. The problem now is that org-follow-link does not resolve without the missing extension.

Org-Mode image syntax?

How would I use an image in an org-mode file. Traditionally, I'd do something like [[file:clock.png][clock]] but it seems like that's not working.

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: Image: https://i.imgur.com/Ze9NDVq.png 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.

How to insert an image using Markdown?

I'm learning Markdown and use Dillinger as my Markdown Editor. I've followed the instructions on how to embed an image but it's not displaying so I must be doing this wrong. Here's my process: -Images saved in folder in the 'Pages' folder, names start with an underscore so they don't appear as individual posts -Input the following text ! [brief description] (_name of file.jpeg) When I preview the blog, I see the Markdown text, no image. Any clue where I am going wrong? I wasn't sure whether to insert the whole path name in the brackets or just the file name. I have tried both, same result.
