Questions
Can't nest folders?
I joined Blot tonight and I'm trying to make things work, but it seems you can't nest folders? So if I have: pages/dogs/index.md pages/dogs/labrador.md pages/dogs/corgi.md pages/dogs/hound.md Then at the top, my menu now contains: Dogs, Labrador, Corgi, Hound. I just want the menu to contain Dogs, and then go to dogs/index.md, and then I'll link to the other pages separately. But it seems that nesting does nothing, that every single page you create will show up in the menu bar automatically?
Link to a PDF in the same folder as a post?
Is there a way to link a pdf file located in the same folder of parent note? Because at the moment I can link only pdf in the root 'Files' folder
Specifying time in image posts?
When directly posting an image to Blot using the YEAR-MONTH-DAY File Name format, the time is always set to 12:00am. I wish to upload several images over several posts but in a particular order. Is there a method of naming an image file to specify a time (Say, 12:01, 12:02, etc) in order to achieve this?
Canonical URLs?
Google Search Console mentioned a lot of pages without user-selected canonical, and after researching a little, I learned that it's better for static sites to mention each original URL (entry or page) as a link rel canonical in the head. I think that's what is better, not sure. I managed to do this perfectly for entries, but using {{{absoluteURL}}} in the head, between {{#entry}} and {{/entry}}. But this doesn't work for the site homepage, or pages like archives, etc. Is there a Reference item that would work for every page of the site, and not just entries?
Full entry on home page of Magazine template?
This might be quite basic but I can’t work it out. Please can you advise me how I can show the full entry of blog posts on the home page using the Magazine template, instead of the summaries? Ideally the pagination would still work the same using the 'posts per page' setting – I just want to display the full entries for the posts. I know I could use the blog template for this but I prefer the layout of the Magazine template apart from this one thing.
Remove website title from browser tab on specific pages?
Is it possible to remove my website title from the browser tab, just on the homepage? I'd just like it to say "Home" without it being followed by the name of my website. Thanks!
Adding Arabic support?
I plan to use Blot to blog in Arabic – do you forsee any problems in using Arabic letters in the text files to be uploaded? I will develop a new template that supports and renders Arabic correctly. I have a good knowledge with HTML/CSS, and the documentations for theme development will help me.
The "fix your folder" link isn't working and the syncing is not happening
Any idea to why that is happening? I've been away from my blot recently, but started using again and am noticing that 1) the reset button doesn't work, 2) the sync is not happening (or seems stuck) and 3) i'm not allowed to choose the folder on google drive anymore?
Issue on mobile for Photos template
The second half of my photos on the photos template site doesn't load on the mobile version. Any suggestions for how to fix this?

How do I get a full export of my data? When I try to export I only get an "accounts.json" file and that's it. Cheers!

Jupyter Notebook .ipynb support?
I am a data analyst. I primarily work and document using Jupyter Notebook. I am looking for a blogging platform where I can drag and drop a .ipynb file, and it renders into a blog post. Can it be done with blot?
Page with Tag
I'm trying to make a custom page that includes a list of posts with a certain tag. I've tried following the instructions on this page, but without success. Here's my code for now.html: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> {{> head}} <body> {{#allEntries}} {{#tagged.Now}} <p><a href="{{{url}}}">{{title}}</a></p> {{/tagged.Now}} {{/allEntries}} </body> </html> I also added this to package.json; { "now.html": { "partials": { "title": "Now - {{{title}}}", "description": "What's up right now." } } } And sitemap.xml: <url> <loc>{{blogURL}}/now/</loc> </url> But heydingus.net/now still leads to a 404. Am I doing something wrong?
Google Search Console cannot fetch my Sitemap?
I checked mysitename.xyz/sitemap.xml is indeed an xml file. I gave that to GSC, but even after a few days, it says Status: Couldn't fetch. What could be the reason? Maybe the site is too small? or maybe it's got to do with the notice that I see when I open the sitemap in my browser: This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
How to make a citation appear as (Author YYYY)?
At the moment a citation of the form [@reference] renders as Author (YYYY) but i would prefer to have it as (Author YYYY). Is there a way to do this?
Linking a citation to the bibliography
How difficult would it be to have this feature? When I enter [@citation] in my post, the resultant text is a link within the page that sends you down to the bibliography.
Not able to delete a post
I created a post and now it is not getting removed from my blog even though the file has been deleted. I had initially connected by Google Drive. I have now connected it to Dropbox. But it is still the same problem. How do I delete the post? Interestingly, this post was created for one of my blogs. It somehow is being duplicated to my second blog, where it was never there as a file.
Why is there no pages folder?
There is no pages folder in my Google Drive that connects to my links on the website. How do I go about adding that so I can add content to the various links. Can each link have a different template?
