Questions

I realize that using the following metadata: Link: / at the top of a post will make it a "landing page", but what I can't figure out is how to avoid the first line of text becoming the name of the page in my links list, without inserting an image at the top of the page (I discovered this fixed the issue by accident when I added an image at the top of certain pages). But without an image, if I want a page named "contact" (for example") I need to have "contact" at the top of the page.

Is it possible to have clickable dropdown menus from the top navigation bar? Can this be currently done with the "Pages" folder concept? I tried creating a simply tree of folders within the "Pages" folder thinking it might work but it gets flattened in one long top navigation menu. David, is this possible to do. Is it template dependent? Are you considering this? I would be a nice feature because we could have more than a few .md files in a directory tree inside the "Pages" folder. Are there any suggestions? It's not a huge request but it would provide some freedom on structure. Thank you —Alex

Would anyone know where I can find a no frills HTML contact us form? All I need is an email sent to me, and the form only needs a name, email address and message fields.

Can we specify to use CDN for html pages. Right now it is used just for the images.

How can I include a copyright notice on the footer of my blog?

I set up Plausible Analytics on my Blot, but it never gave me a field to enter the tracking snippet. Does Blot auto generate that?

I was wondering how to use regular expressions in redirects. Consider the following case: I want to redirect users to my github page when they type domain.tld/github without the link being case sencitive. So all URLs including /github, /gitHub, or even /GitHuB would redirect to the same destination. I tried to type it as follows: /github/i, but thast didn't work. Thanks!

I'm using the Blog template and wanted to add my own name -- By XYZ -- as a tagline/sub-head/caption that should appear right under the blog name (header) but in a smaller font (where I'd also like to change the font and color of the tagline). Please let me know how to achieve this, thank you!

I have only been able to generate in-line footnotes rather than footnotes that appear at the bottom of the page using the "[^1]" and "[^1]: footnote next" format. I also played around with various versions of this, but couldn't get it to work. Just as an aside, I am new to Blot and absolutely love it. I really appreciate having this platform. Thank you! My test site is available at austinkocher.blot.im, though it's still a bit of a mess right now as I get things set up.

After I removed an image from google drive, the image post is still on my blog. How can I remove an image post properly?

I used the markdown layout tags to build a grid of images, but the last column formatting appears to be continuing to the following paragraph. Scroll down here to see the example: https://semeiotica.com/ The markdown code is this: {||||}    {||||}    {||||}    {||||}    Is there any easy fix?

Hello, I saw a ticket for the pCloud in the potential new features page, is there traction on that? Thanks as always for the excellent work

I am trying to find a way to change page/1 to /blog/ as my post URL scheme is blog/{{slug}}. How is this possible? I just want to display what is on page/1 on /blog/ instead.

I’m looking to avoid repeating a specific block of code from within the individual post entries. Within a theme, this would be achieved using {{> Block}}. Is there a way to do this within a post. Currently Blot hides this code. Do I need to put a path? {{> /templates/theme-name/Block }} or something similar?

In my blog, I use Japanese character as a title. Blot uses a title as a slug to create URL of an article. But we never use Japanese characters for URL. I know that we can specify URLs of articles in Link metadata. But I use "date and title" for Permalink format. I'd like to specify only slug instead of title on metadata of each articles. If I specify "apple" on Link metadata in an article, URL of the article should be "YYYY/MM/D/apple".

I seem to have 2 different blog on Blot and I want to remove them and start anew. Is there any way to delete blogs and start from scratch?

Please share the text-editor you like to use with Blot

Do you have recommendations for where to publish the .mp3 files? Is it possible to keep them in my Blot’s Dropbox or should I upload it to some site that is for uploading/sharing .mp3? For the latter, would you please also recommend some YouTube-equivalent good sites for uploading .mp3 files? Thank you! I asked about this as a comment on this question but I guess you'd not have received notification for it, so created this new question. :)

What is the cause of this message? It happens every once in a while that I just can't publish a file. I first suspected issues with the frontmatter, but everything seems to be in order there. Is there anything else I need to check?

I have a question or two about how I can use blot to stage some longer form writing I am doing. I write blog posts now in the "posts" folder. These are day to day or so views. The longer form writing would be more words but still markdown formatted. I would like to link to these articles from a landing page but not have them in the same posts folder and also hidden unless someone visits the landing page. I thought of a folder like _stories and then place all the markdown files in there and create the links on the landing page as I go. Is there another way you could suggest publishing longer form writing?
