How to delete a link?

Apologies if, as I suspect, I'm missing something obvious, but how do I delete a link that's previously been created in the Your sites/[Site name]/Links part of the control panel? I can see how to add a new link and how to reorder them, but not how to delete a link that has previously been created. Thanks!

"/random" stick to the same link

I wonder why does the "/random" link stick to the same page from time to time? Is it just my site or anybody else got the same issue? I can't seem to understand the pattern because many times the page refreshes on each click but at times it gets stuck with one page.

Trying to upload a Wordpress export

I'm trying to upload an Export of a WordPress site, but I get an error that the "413 Request Entity Too Large". The file is 8.3 megabytes, which doesn't seem all that large. What is the max upload size?

Combining Blog & Album

Is there a way to combine two themes to have two types of posts? I’m running a blog (based on an older blog template) but I’d also like to show photos (or photo albums) akin to the Portfolio template. Is there a straightforward way to accomplish this?

Markdown in Google Doc?

Just started with blot and planned to use google docs as my editor. I guess markdown doesn't work within Google Documents, altough GD understands some md out of the box (e.g. # headline) I played around and couldn't get most of the formatting and features to work. I would really like to stay in gd (even with only md for formatting) for convenience and not need any additional txt editor. Anything I am missing, any settings in blot or docs? Working well: formating based on headlines and line breaks Working semi: links get routed through Google Search (see below); current date based on the doc (but no editing for a future/past pub date possible) Not working: any other formatting (tested: bold, italic, color); tags

Add support for Jupyter notebooks?

Hello - is there a nice workflow for this, or even better, will blot ever support a notebook file?

Unable to set a landing page?

I think I followed the instructions properly, but I'm unable to set a landing page. I have a page where the first line is the following, followed by a blank line. Link: / But instead of setting that as the home page, it's creating a separate page called "Link: /"

{{last}} is not defined inside {{archives}}

I know {{^last}}{{/last}} does work on Blot in principle, considering this question. However, it does not seem to work with {{#entries}}, even though some templates try to make use of it. Specifically, I am talking about the "Index" template, which tries to do the following on its archives.html part: {{#entries}} <a class="archive" href="{{{url}}}">{{title}}</a>{{^last}}&nbsp;&nbsp;·&nbsp;{{/last}} {{/entries}} In case of three posts in a single month, e. g. "abc", "def" and "ghi", I would expect the following to appear on the archives page: abc · def · ghi However, the {{^last}}{{/last}} block never seems to be executed, which leaves me with: abc def ghi (The spaces are probably added because of the line break in the HTML code.) I suspect that the items of {{#entries}} do not even have a last-property, which is why Mustache evaluates it to "false" (for all items)? Or is there some other problem? This happens with a freshly forked "Index" template, so I think it should work out of the box.

Edit date format selections not being applied correctly?

Is anyone else seeing this? Changing the date format in the 'edit template' screen allows me to select a different format, but the new format is: not applied to the preview not retained if I leave / return to this screen not applied to the live site (confirmed with debug function, where dateFormat in JSON remains original value) The template is unmodified and correctly uses {{date}}. Other changes in the edit template screen (such as font, font size and line spacing) are correctly applied.

Hide specific posts in Previous section?

Is it possible to remove irrelevant posts that have different tag variables in the Previous and Next post sections? For instance, a post with the tag "dog" should not display any posts with the tag "cat" in the Previous section. Here is my current solution: {{#tagged.dog}} {{^tagged.cat}} {{previous}} {{/tagged.cat}} {{/tagged.dog}} However, this only solves half of the problem. If the previous post had the "cat" tag, then there will be a blank space in the Previous section. This is because it is a linear filter rather than an iteration loop. I'm looking for a better approach that not only blocks out irrelevant posts but also shows previous posts with the same tag.

Sync support from Evernote?

Will you ever add sync support from Evernote.com?

Add class to currently selected page on my navigation?

Is there a way to add a class to the page you're currently visiting in the menu?

Favicon and RSS feed icon?

Should the image being used as the favicon show up as the icon in an RSS reader app? In my RSS reader app, when I subscribe to my site, the placeholder is just the default "T" on a color background that the app uses for feeds that don't have a specified icon. Wondering if I need to set this explicitly in the feed.rss file in my template.

Centering navigation on Blog template on mobile only?

I'm using a forked version of the Blog template for Tangible Life. I like the desktop layout with left and right justified elements, but they look odd on mobile size classes. How can I achieve a centered blog title, then Pages and Search/RSS icons centered below that on mobile only?

Adding an attribute to title on Archives page based on a tag?

On my main entries page, if a post is a link post I've updated the CSS to show a unicode arrow symbol after the title so people will know the title will take them to another location. I'm trying to achieve the same behavior on the archives page. This could be driven based on a tag value of 'linkpost'. Is this possible? Example of how it looks on main page (would like the same symbol to appear after the post title on archives based on a tag value being present):

Hide a post from the front page but show it in the archives?

I'm using the blog template. I have certain posts (RPG session summaries!) that I don't want showing on the front page, but I don't mind showing up in the archives list. Right now, these posts have the metadata: Page: yes Menu: no …as I saw mentioned in this question. However, when I do this, the posts are not listed on the archives page, and when viewing them from a tag page, no dates are shown. Essentially, I think what I'd want is a way to publish a post normally, but simply not have it show on the front page. Is this possible?

Hide images on home but show on tagged page?

Hi! I'd like to set up a "stream" page that just shows inspirational images that I collect and drop into a folder. Ideally these images only appear on the stream page and not on the home page. How can I accomplish this?
