How to clear layout formatting for new paragraph?
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: {||||} ![1](/posts/crest/_cartouche.png) ![5](/posts/crest/_droplet2.png) ![8](/posts/crest/_sparc_logo.png) {||||} ![3](/posts/crest/_gate2.png) ![6](/posts/crest/_NGI_logo200.png) ![9](/posts/crest/_KitLogo_Color@4x.png) {||||} ![4](/posts/crest/_mondial.png) ![7](/posts/crest/_coclimate_logo_bl.png) ![10](/posts/crest/_ae_logo.png) {||||} ![2](/posts/crest/_g.png) ![12](/posts/crest/_worldviews.png) ![11](/posts/crest/_genocartouche.png) Is there any easy fix?

Change the URL of the blog index page?
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.
Insert block in page
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?
Can I use custom slug in metadata ?
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".

Where to store the audio files for sound posts?
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. :)
"This file is not a post because it was ignored"
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?
Longer form writing than blog posts
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?
Sponsored content near comments?

Query Pages / Custom Menu
Is there a way to query all Pages (instead of Posts) in order to create a custom menu? It looks like {{#all_entries}} doesn't included anything flagged as a page in the meta data, resulting in the inability to filter out only the pages using something like {{#Page}} within the {{#all_entries}} query. Use case: I'd like to create a secondary (footer) menu where I can list a different set of pages than what is shown in the main menu. In the meta data something like this could be used: Page: yes Footer: yes Ideally I could query for {{#Page}} and then within that {{#metadata.footer}} (or something of the sort) to pull the desired pages. In terms of creating a menu, I could likely wrangle the {{#menu}} query and do something fun within it but I didn't know if there was an easier way to list Pages and not Posts

I need further help related to this question: Image galleries / slideshows / masonry layouts Where you have recommended PhotoSwipe to show multiple images as a slideshow of sorts.

noindex a specific post or page?
Is there a way to add <meta name="robots" content="noindex" /> to an individual markdown page? Presumably if I put the HTML tag in the markdown it'll appear within <body></body> and so will be noncompliant with the HTML specification. Thanks!

File download link
I put a file in my Files folder, prepended with the _ character so it didn't become a post. When I right-click > download on the link on the post, it just downloads the 404 html page. Can I make a link just a file download from dropbox?
