Will you consider adding support for Single sign-on (SSO) and Multi-factor Authentication (MFA)?
Obsidian markdown file not displaying correctly
I have one markdown file up as a test. It came straight from Obsidian, but most of the formatting for lists isn't working correctly. Looking for any ideas what i'm doing wrong. Thanks! EDIT: Disregard. It was user error. Either my formatting was never right, or it got messed up somehow between Obsidian and Blot. Fixed it up, and it is displaying properly now.
Can I add affiliate links to my site?
How does Blot work in regards to having affiliate links within my blog post? How will it appear? I am a totally blind blogger, so I want to make sure that my links don't look weird.
Can I make one or more posts “sticky” at the top of the homepage?
I’m using the Blog template. Thanks!
Favicon not displaying?
So, for whatever reason, my favicon for my site isn't displaying on tabs despite displaying on my website. Any idea why? Site: https://www.bookcraft.blog/
Possible to add folder as a sub-domain?
Is it possible to add a folder of documents that become a sub-domain to my main site. e.g. newfolder/mydomain.com?
How do you get posts to show up on /page/1?
Per the instructions I found in the "How to use Blot" section I have made a page called "Posts" that links to "/page/1"; however, nothing shows up there. I tried with no "Link: " metadata in my post and didn't get the post on my homepage or "/page/1". I also tried making link to "Link: /", which obviously put the post on my homepage, but not on "/page/1". Any advice would be much appreciated. I love the theoretical simplicity of Blot, but I'm struggling to get something seemingly simple working how I expect it to.
Can you please provide the layout.txt file from the video?
This is used about two minutes into the demo video on Blot's homepage
Putting CloudFlare infront of blog
I noticed when enabling CloudFlare proxy, the site will end up in a redirect loop. This also happens when disabling the "Redirect subdomain on Blot to your custom domain" setting. Anyone any luck with using CloudFlare proxy ontop of a blot blog?
Is Blot under development?
I'm just wondering whether Blot is still in development. I don't see many people using this platform. I'm just a bit concerned about the longevity of my blog. Cheers.
Notifications for question answers?
I'm a big fan of this Questions section of Blot since it lets me try to find solutions to problems on my own before reaching out to the contact email or asking a new question. However, it's hard to keep track of questions and when they are answered. Right now, I make a task to follow up on the question's URL and then periodically try to run back down the list to see if anything's changed. Would you consider adding a 'notify me' feature that sends an email or something when a particular question gets a new answer? Ideally, I could "subscribe" to any question, even if I hadn't asked it, since there are topics others have brought up that I'm eager to learn more about. I guess I'm thinking of something like Discourse, which I've seen other places use, but maybe you don't want to go down that route.
HTML Widget not rendering but works in CodePen
In CodePen the HTML snippet draws the widget with correct information, but when I paste the code to my Markdown page nothing renders. I can see the code is written on the page via Developer Mode, but it's getting a 400. The widget is from Literal.club and it has the following code: <div id="literal-widget" handle="<MY_HANDLE>" status="IS_READING" layout="list"></div> <script src="https://literal.club/js/widget.js"></script> I've used Substack iframes and they work fine.
Avoid images on homepage
I'm new to all this and palying around a bit. I use Obsidian as MD editor and am publishing my first post. When I write my post I want to add an image to it. That image is in the same folder as the post. Now when Blot picks things up it shows both the image and the blog post on the homepage. Can I avoid that? What is your folder strategy when working with images??
Google Drive sync setup
Hi there, blot was able to automatically create a root folder for my blog but no other contents were added. I created a folder for Posts and upload a markdown file to test. Still, nothing is showing up in prod nor is the .md file getting recognized in blot's > sync view. Please advise, thanks! https://hcde.blot.im/

New local template
If I want to create my own custom template, do I just need to create the Templates folder, the folder with the template source code, a package.json, and then the various template files themself? Will the blot.im hosted UI recognize that I added a new template locally?
Payments history and invoices?
Where can i download the invoices or the history of payments / receipts? Thank you very much
Create a section on a page showing entries with a specific tag
Forgive me if this has been answered elsewhere, but I couldn't find it when perusing existing questions. I'd like to set up some pages as homes for my various projects, many of which have their own tags for related blog posts. I know that you can create a new .html file with the syntax on https://blot.im/templates/developers/examples/all-posts-with-a-tag, but I was hoping to do it with a regular page made with a .md file. It'd be much easier to update the rest of the content that way. Is that possible?
Remove "Links to this post"?
At the bottom of the default template, on some pages there is a "Links to this post" block. How does one remove this?
Pocket is parsing author incorrectly
I can't, for the life of me, figure out how to get the author parsed by read later services. For some reason, Pocket has pulled out "merch" as the author of my posts, and I don't know why. Any ideas? Example post.
