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?

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.

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.

It somehow is being duplicated to my second blog, where it was never there as a file.
