I love the ability to feature posts and make them sticky through custom metadata which I've added to my template e.g. Sticky: yes Rest of post here... However, one issue I've found is that pagination unsticks the posts. As soon as they have gone off of the front page, they are no longer sticky. Is there any way to change this? Thanks!

Is there an easy way that when you I visit a page on my Blot site - I can quickly find and open the original file in my folder, via say Dropbox?

I've modified the Magazine template to add a footer. When I click on a category, and click on all section on the top right, and scroll down, the part where I've footer copyright policy etc, isn't aligned like the rest of the pages. How do I fix that?

I tried using the author and keyword metadata in my post. For some reason, it wasn't displaying on the published post. I am wondering if that's how it is supposed to be. Here is a sample format: Date: June 26, 2023 Tags: Style Keywords: summer essentials, style, dress, woven bag, sunscreen, sunglasses Author: anchor

Is there a way to show a list of tags only if there's a minimum number of posts (say three) tagged as such? I'm looking to do this to show a list of tags without cluttering it up too much and only showing those with a minimum number of tagged posts. Thanks. Ray

Blot currently has five templates – each has a specific purpose for a sort of website. Are there other use-cases you'd like to see? Other types of website you could make with Blot, that don't currently exist as a template?

I want to restrict access - is it possible to password protect my site?

Is it possible to have a carousel of my instagram account linked to a page on my blog?

How can I link images from social media, say, Instagram for example without the caption or borderline showing in a post.

I would like to set a color for particular sections of text in my post. The intended use would be something like: Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer’s lease hath all too short a date; I want to make the bolded text red, and the italicized text blue. I am currently using the stock Blog template and uploading my posts as .docx files. (My bold/italics/underline and embedded images upload this way, but not text colors.) Where do I change my process to let me apply color to particular passages of text? Should I be uploading in a different file format, or modifying style.css in the Blog template?

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?
