I'm using a magazine template for my content. But I've noticed that when I add a link, the text color doesn't change even though the text gets underlined. I want the linked text to have a different color so readers can easily see it's a clickable link to another page or website. How can I make that happen?

I'm trying to work out a way to generate a unique twitter card for each of my posts, so when an article / permalink is shared on socials it gives a summary based on the first couple lines of the post and uses the first image in the post as the preview image. Currently I have a share card coming up with the text part of the preview but can't work out how to incorporate the image into it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Why, when I search for a word does it return random posts that don't contain that word? e.g.https://blog.tyro.me/search?q=deadhttps://blog.tyro.me/search?q=bubba

I'm not sure if either are possible, but here goes: When I click into a tagged set of pictures, could it just go straight to the full size of the first one? And then, when you're viewing a tagged set, can it not have navigation back to any images not using that tag? What I'm trying to do, as I remember indexhibit working, is to use tags to create static finished sets of pictures, and then anything not tagged goes under Posts as the main feed. But I don't want picture navigation between the two, especially as there is no title showing what tag you're viewing.

At the moment, Blot can turn five types of files into posts. We plan to expand this list in future – what file types would be useful to you?

I'm looking to add some free fonts which are to my liking and I want to apply it all over my site. How can I upload a new set of font pack?

I'm fine with the chronological order of photos in the general feed, but I have a few tagged portfolios that I would like to display in a fixed order. I know date/time labeling them in the filename will do this, but then that date/time is displayed on screen. Is there a way to order them whilst hiding the date and maintaining a caption, which will also be in the filename? I tried using nested dated folders, which I guess works although they need to be numbered in reverse to display in the correct order.

I notice that the Date: metadata isn't taking effect now; it used to be that I could upload a post with a future date or time, and it would go live at that time, but now they show up at the time they get uploaded as long as the Draft flag isn't set. Did something change?

Is there a way to reference the current page's URL while writing the post? I'd like to be able to create visible anchor links while I'm writing, but don't know of an easy way to include the post's URL. I know that you can put {#anchor-link-name} on a line to create an anchor link so that https://domain.com/path/#anchor-link-name will bring you to that line. I also know that if I use just a leading slash, it will append the slug to my base domain. i.e. [linked text](/some-slug] will automatically point to https://mydomain.com/some-slug. But how do include the path part before the post is published? Here's my idea: two leading slashes to indicate it should include the page's full URL and then append whatever is referenced to the end of that. That way, when writing, I could just put this text [🔗](//#anchor-link-name) {#anchor-link-name} next to a heading, and I'd get a visible bit of hypertext (the emoji) that links to a particular part of the very page its on. The full thing: ## A super cool heading [🔗](//#super-cool-heading) {#super-cool-heading} Or is there an existing way to accomplish the same thing?

So I always create a summary for every post, this is within the front matter of each post and is used for the description with the HTML meta. I also use this summary as a line of intro text for every post. At the moment, I copy/paste the summary into the body of the post, but it would be nice if this was rendered automatically at build. I've tried including {{{summary}}} in the body, but it doesn't render. How would I get the summary to render in my posts?

I've set up my blog with my URL and connected to Google Drive. My dashboard shows the test posts I've made and I can view them when i click directly on the dashboard links (however, metadata is displayed in plain text) The front page shows the blog template, but the test posts do not populate to the blog - it's just blank.

It's been two months since I noticed that some of my tags kept disappearing from my tags list. I found that I could make them come back by just changing the folder name (I use folders with brackets to create my tags). At first I thought the tags that were disappearing were random, but recently I concluded that they were always the same and what they have in common is that they are all graphic accentuated words (words with graphic marks such as á ó ê): [Diários de viagem], [Memórias em fotos] and [Séries]. I'm from Brazil so I always use a lot of graphic marks in words since I write in Portuguese. Has anyone experienced something like this and know how I can solve this problem?

Not sure if it's an error on my google drive sync or if I'm just going about this wrong. I've been able to navigate through pages, blot doesn't support videos does it?

I'd like to use the links to point to the contents of a folder. So if they click "NPCs" the resulting page will be all the NPCs in my NPC folder (in my synced google drive folder). Is that possible? If so, how? I can't seem to figure it out.

I'd like an external contractor to update the templates and CSS of my site to provide a new design that is beyond my capabilities to implement. How do I work with them? My ideal would be to have a locally hosted version of my site that I could collaborate with the contractor via github and PRs. Is that an option? Or something like it? I don't want to just give them the password to my Blot account and let them go to town.

Using home.txt with the following syntax: Link: / [Page 1](/Pages/page1.txt) The resultant page is shown without styles. How do I link this page to a template?

I'm having issues setting up Disqus comments on my site

Is there any simple way to implement a WebFinger with Blot? I tried to upload a JSON file, and it is served by Blot (https://lev.lc/webfinger.json), but I can't figure out how to assign it to a proper "/.well-known/webfinger" path. If you wonder why anyone needs that, it looks like an easy yet "hacky" way to use your own domain with Mastodon

I noticed that Blot replaces apostrophes with dashes when converting a title to a URL-ready slug, but only when they’re singular. For example, Apple’s Striking Short Film Ahead of International Day of People With Disabilities → https://heydingus.net/blog/2022/12/apple-s-striking-short-film-ahead-of-international-day-of-people-with-disabilities vs ‘All Consuming’ Podcast is Back → https://heydingus.net/blog/2022/12/all-consuming-podcast-is-back Would you consider making it so singular apostrophes are also ignored, as it would make the URLs more readable?

is it possible to turn off my website temporarily? I do not want to delete my account but make the site inaccessible for a limited time. Best regards Florian Guckelsberger
