Adding tags to a post?

I've read all the documentation and I'm sure I'm being thick but I just can't get my posts tagged. I am just posting .md files via DropBox but how do I get the posts to have tags?

Issue linking from page to post?

In my About Me page, I link to a blog post. However, when I click on that link, it goes to an .md file viewed in the browser. I am sure I'm doing something wrong with wikilinks and maybe just need a redirect to Documentation. I'm also not sure if the space and commas in the file name are messing with it? I am using Obsidian and here is how it's written: Hello! I'm Benjamin Clover (formerly Saubolle-Camacho), an Associate Professional Clinical Counselor (APCC #14202) in the state of California. I made this blog after [deleting (most of) my social media](/Posts/Goodbye,%20social%20media.md) accounts. This also happens with my link to my CV. I am also a clinician & program administrator for our county's First Episode Psychosis program. You can see more about my professional background in my [CV](/Pages/CV.md). Thanks for any help, Benjamin

Can you help me get Simple Analytics working for my site?

I am trying to get Simple Analytics working. On their website, they say I should insert a few lines of code into my webpage. But, when I am on blot.im and edit my template, there are several pages listed. Do I add that Simple Analytics code to the "entries.html" page, or to a different one?

Three months without support

I'm sorry after three months without support and a broken site, I've decided to cancel the subscription and to try and look for an alternative. It's a pity because I like the unique simplicity of this publishing model—this is how the web should be for ordinary folks. Good luck.

Rearranging Site Pages?

On the old Blot.im site it was easy to rearrange the order of our website's pages as they appeared at the top of our template. I'm struggling to find out where/how to do this on the new Blot.im site. Any help appreciated

What have you made with Blot?

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

Backlinks to include pages?

I know backlinks on pages do work when posts reference a page... But pages themselves aren't included in backlinks when they are linked to, whether from posts or other pages. Is there a way to enable it so pages are included in the backlink queries? I ask because I am putting my Zettelkasten into pages which is more suitable for that since I will be blogging on top of it. Thanks,. Ray

How to sort tags alphabetically?

I'm using the Magazine template and would like to sort the tags in the sidebar alphabetically. Is that possible?

Enabling search for pages?

Is there a way to enable search for certain pages? I am talking about "user-defined" pages, i. e. stuff in /Pages or with Page: yes, not something like the archives page. Posts work perfectly, but pages, no matter whether they are stored inside or outside of /Pages, do not work, even with the following metadata: Search: yes Is this supposed to work somehow? Considering quite a few people use Blot for / as their "digital garden" / notes / information store, being able to search these pages would be very helpful.

How does the magazine template determine the tags to display in the menu?

I'm using the default magazine template, and am wondering how it choses which tags to show in the left-hand menu. It seems like it's limited to 5 – is it the first 5 that are used in posts, or the top 5 most frequently used? I'm wondering how to change them. Thanks! :)

Twitter auto-embed for x.com URLs?

It'll always be Twitter to me, but it'd be good if the Twitter auto-embed feature would also work with x.com links.

Using Android with git?

Hi everyone. Curious how people use git syncing with Android. There is no working copy app on android. I found an app called git sync on the play store and I could use termux I guess. Now I use dropbox and its very easy to publish blog posts. If I were on iOS it would be pretty easy to switch. Thanks for any pointers. BTW, I just use Markor the markdown text app to write with these days.
