Has anyone managed to place a link around an image via markdown? Normally, according to markdown rules, this would look something like this: (/tagged/cats) But for some reason, in my case, the URL part is not recognized but somehow becomes a text which then sits underneath the image.

Hello, I'm trying to create a custom template, but some documentation seems to be missing: https://blot.im/developers/reference

I can't for the life of me get anything to appear on the home page. I added a new page with some custom content and set the link to / but it's still blank. For reference, I forked the blog template, changed some colors and started using it. I'm not sure if the homepage was blank before then because I hadn't uploaded any pages yet. Might be worth noting that the home page doesn't have the colors of the template either. The search page also doesn't have the right colors, but the archive page does. Is there some sort of delay in between making posts / changing template and the homepage updating?

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?

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.
