It's pretty annoying to have a redirect notice for every link I mention in a post, is there a way to link while circumventing the notice? edit: I think I solved my own problem by removing https:// from each link.

One of my sites has become completely inaccessible for managing via Blot's interface and shows 'Nothing published yet.' when visiting the site in a browser. What's going on?

Does Blot support multi-line values for YAML frontmatter? no matter what format I try, whenever I call it via a template, it seems to break the page layout, even if the YAML is valid. Conversely, if i switch to Blot style metadata, everything works as expected. To illustrate, this Blot style metadata works fine: longtext: this is a multi line but this YAML Frontmatter does not: --- longtext: |- here is a multi line --- the YAML metadata is rendered as: here is a multi line –> and the raw HTML is: <p>here</p> is a multi line –&gt; i also can't seem to figure out what is causing the –> to be rendered. so it seems like the newline characters are being rendered, but not wrapped in <p> tags (as i would expect, and how the Blot style metadata seems to handle it.

Blot prompted me to reconnect my Google Drive, but when I attempt that I get "This app is blocked: This app tried to access sensitive info in your Google Account. To keep your account safe, Google blocked this access." This appears to be an issue with Blot's security. I've tried to set up an app password via Google but this does not appear to work, either.

I create a new post for concerts I attend. Currently, I include the venue name as a piece of custom metadata. I would like for this piece of metadata to be clickable, to show all other posts that were “tagged” with that specific venue. I could add the venue as its own tag, but then it would be displayed with the other tags, and I would like it displayed separately. But, when I display the venue in its own metadata section, then I can’t retain the functionality of the normal tags. Any way to accomplish this or something like this?

Morning, You used to be able to reorder the pages on the navigation link through settings, but that seems to have disappeared since the redesign of Blot.im... unless I'm going nuts! Is this still an option?

Is there a way to turn a folder of images into a post instead of having each one show up one by one?

I'm creating a custom archives.html of sorts. When using {{date}}, is there any way to get it to display as relative? I'd only like to do so on this one specific page.

I plan on testing this myself later, but while I'm away from my desk... Can Blot handle wikilinks? It would make it a great companion for e.g. Obsidian.

I've created a new homepage and would like to show the 3 latest posts from the blog on a section of the homepage. Is there a way to write some code to do this? Thanks!

The error reads: "Stripe: I require argument "customerId", but I got: undefined" I also raised this via support email but not sure which one is checked more often?

Has anyone integrated a Shopify store into Blot?

I have downloaded a few of the templates and unzipped them and, one at a time, dropped them in the Templates folder of my Blot folder but it seems to have no effect. Is there a way to enable or activate a template?

Would it be possible for Blot to automate setting up a proxy for analytics script (as a safe-guard for add-blockers)? Or better yet, maybe some in-house analytics are in the workings? I currently use Umami as a simple privacy-focused self-hosted and cloud analytics and I keep wondering why wouldn't they just license the script to the third-parties like Blot to run along smoothly with the web-server itself.

Blot's new UX is gorgeous, but it became painfully hard to edit a template's source code, as the preview images on the left render in several different sizes and push the rest of the screen far-right.

Is there a way to add a description to a tag so that when viewing domain.com/tagged/tagname a block of text could be included?

I am unsure what happens if I switch over to editing a template locally. Will the active and current version of the template be saved in a folder on Dropbox (which I am using for my entries and pages)? And what if I, at one point, want to switch back to online editing?

If I put an e.g. &nbsp; literal string inside a code fence: myString.replace(" ", "") That renders literally as a space, so I need to manually encode the ampersand &amp;nbsp;: myString.replace("&nbsp;", "") Then Blot actually renders encoded characters vs a literal non-breaking space. Perhaps it's an issue of properly handling ampersands?

Has anyone found a way to sync the git connector with a github repo?

I'm thinking of switching from Commento to Komments to save money. For now that would mean having to create a Komments URL for each post by hand. Is there a chance you might integrate it as an additional options for comments, so that every new post would automatically create a corresponding Komments URL? Apparently that should be possible via the API.
