How can I hide the date in my entry.html template only for pages (not posts)? Alternatively, is it possible to use separate templates (page.html and post.html) for pages vs. posts? Or can I prevent date generation for pages entirely?

I tried adding an underscore to the folder name and also to the image name inside the folder, but then blot ignores the image in the markdown post. Any advice?

As a newbie... I'm somewhat confused with templates. The links on the templates page don't marry up with the links on the dashboard, i.e. in relation to the list of available templates. If I select one of the templates and choose "Install template" nothing seems to happen (other than the page changing to https://blot.im/sites). Also what's the significance of the Templates folder on my sites? Re. the option to download a template, what's the value of that, do I place the files in the Templates directory.

Can we exceed the total number of articles per page? It is limited to 60. Or, and this would be simpler, make the home page display the following 60 articles in the same way.

Every answer has an Edit answer link that allows me, who is not the author of every answer, to edit every answer. This seems...problematic? Is this a bug or am I just confused?

I used to have my website in an Apps subfolder called Blogs. That folder has now disappeared from my Dropbox. I don't see it on my desktop and I don't see it in Dropbox on the web. Yet, somehow, according to Blot, the site is located there, which I do not see in my Dropbox either. The site is still live, but, obviously, I'm not sure how I can post to the site or otherwise work with it if I can't find the folders. Is this a Dropbox problem or is it something on your end?

When setting up folder sync does blot only need readonly access to the share?

I currently have this block in archives.html: <div> {{#allEntries}} <a href="{{{url}}}">{{title}}</a> <span class="small">{{date}}</span> <br /> <div class="spacer8"></div> {{/allEntries}} </div> Instead of allEntries is it possible to remove entries that have tag x?

I recently set up a redirect of a tagged page to a gallery page but it doesn't seem to be working: From: /tagged/photos to: /gallery Clicking the photos tag below the post still sends me to the tagged page rather than the photo gallery I set up. How can I tweak this further to make it work? Thanks!

On pages where multiple posts are displayed, the <h1> is the page name, e.g.: Archives, Home. Posts titled are rendered in <h2>. On a single post page, the post title is an <h1> tag and subheadings are <h2>, <h3>, etc as needed. All good so far. The issue arises when a post with subheadings is not displayed on its own page, e.g.: when shown on a page showing the ten most recent posts in full. There, the titles are rendered in <h2>, but then the subheadings are one level off. My thought was to write the headings within each post something like: {{{#singleentry}}}h2{{{/singleentry}}} {{{#multientries}}}h3{{{/multientries}}} But I am not sure what the appropriate key would be, if it exists. I had a look through the developer reference doc but didn't see something like this. Since something like this would be useful for things beyond just modifying heading levels, I feel like there must be something that will do the trick that I am simply not seeing. If there's a better way, I'm all ears!

Anyone care to share the URLs to their Blot blogs here? I know David has a few listed in examples on the front page, but I'm sure there's many more. Would love to see others to follow (and gain inspiration!)... Here's mine: Along the Ray: https://alongtheray.com

Does anyone know of any templates or tools to support two different languages on the Blot website?

At the moment, Blot supports fours ways to sync a folder: Dropbox Google Drive Git iCloud We're currently working on adding others – which tools or services would you like us to support?

I see to edit the menu it's not under editing your template the website. However the section does not seem to be usable in the browser. Everything is all over the place and it's hard to click things because of odd alignments. Is there a way to edit menus when just editing a template locally?

If I search for a phrase (multiple words), the results seem to include posts with either word rather than both/all words. I would prefer the search use AND not OR by default (without something like typing "AND" in the query). Is there any way to change the behavior? Currently, the results get very "noisy" because many of the results aren't relevant. Thanks.

I have a content which still appear after I delete the file in my GDrive folder. Previously I have explored multiple ways of making different menus to categorize my contents like "Projects" and "Notes" menu (which will have different type of contents/files). The introduction "Projects" file which I created earlier still stuck in the home page. How to delete this content or reset the template?
