Questions

Thanks.

Hey, what would be the easiest way to condense the space between posts in the Blog template? When a post is short, the space between that and the next post looks large.

Hello, earlier in the year I noticed an issue with accessibility (according to Lighthouse), regarding ARIA roles and on how the markdown converter (pandoc) turns footnotes into HTML. Any update on this front? Is pandoc working on a fix? What are the alternatives? Thanks!

If I'm using custom metadata, is there a way to set a default in the template?

How do you personally handle Drafts, Images, Files, etc., in terms of workflow? I'm thinking of the following: /Drafts (initiate all writing here prior to sliding into /Posts or /Pages for publication) /Files (other than images) /Images (all images and graphics) /Pages /Posts /Templates Do you personally underscore Folders or individual files?

Hello. I have been trouble with the dropbox syncing feature. For the past week blot.im stopped syncing for up to half an hour. Right now the folder does not sync. I have tried troubleshooting the issue with dropbox but it did not help. Anything I should do or try? Thank you

I'm trying to format the height of my image. Is there a way to do this in the existing markdown file or do I have to translate my markdown to HTML in order for my "img" tag to work? Or is there some other way within Markdown to specify an image size? Or perhaps you would recommend adding an ID to the image and then modifying size via CSS?

I’m just getting started with my blog and wondered if you wouldn’t mind giving me some tips on how to make the most of blot? Here’s how I’m posting: write post in Markdown on Dillinger in my browser, export as ‘Markdown’ and then put in Dropbox. This is working fine but if I need to edit the post after I’ve seen the preview, I go back into Dillinger, make edits and export and save again. I just wondered if there’s a better way to do this? I’m very new to this sort of thing so tried to download ‘Atom’ which I thought was a Markdown app, but it doesn’t open on my computer.

I am excited to use the bibliography functionality, but I must be missing something about how it works. I made files out of the example Post and Bibliography from the example page. But the post that ends up on my blog page just looks like the raw text - it hasn't been parsed, i.e. it looks like: Blah blah [see @item1, pp. 33-35; also @item2, chap. 1]. Blah blah [@item1, pp. 33-35, 38-39 and passim]. Blah blah [@item1; @item2]. I put the Bibliography.bib file in the same folder as the text file containing the Post. What am I missing?

When I use more than one item of metadata, e.g. Date: and Link: the second item always appears in the published post. I've followed the guides by keeping the items at the start of the document with spacing. I use a new line for each.

Some time ago I believe it was planned to add OneDrive as a client along with Dropbox and Git. I see now that Google Drive is planned. Is OneDrive still being considered as a future client? Thank you.

Hi, my Lighthouse accessibility score mentions a problem with the Role and ARIA attributes of the Footnotes class, and I don't know where to begin solving this. Any idea on how to quickly correct this on my side?

Does Blot serve something like a page ID that would allow me to suppress the header on a particular page using .page-id-x #header {display: none;}? Specifically I'm hoping to display the header on all pages apart from the homepage at '/'.

One more of these and then I'll stop trying to turn this Questions section into my own personal CSS school... for at least a few weeks. Is it possible to style checkboxes? Specifically I have a page using some checked and unchecked items; they're not intended to be editable by visitors, that's fine, but I think the 'disabled' selector is messing me up. Here's the page (I'm trying to just make the 'checked' boxes stand out a bit more by giving them a coloured background. Here's what I've tried to no avail: input[type="checkbox"]:disabled { background: #46adf9; }

CSS friends, I've been playing around with adding a gradient for things like link underlining; it looks like this: a { color: {{text_color}}; text-decoration: none; background: linear-gradient(to left, #ad1981, #46adf9 100%); background-position: 0 100%; background-size: 100% 1px; background-repeat: repeat-x; } I'm trying to figure out how to achieve a similar effect as a 2px left hand border for blockquotes, but I'm misunderstanding something about how it works. Any insight much appreciated. My best guess so far looks like this: padding: 0 0 0 12px; opacity: 0.8; background: linear-gradient(to left, #ad1981, #46adf9 100%); background-position: left; background-size: 100% 2px; background-repeat: repeat-y;

I've included tags in my post's file name.

Do you happen to have the layouts.txt file from the demo video available to share? I’d like to get an idea of all the different formatting options available and figured that would be the perfect reference.

I’m asking if you can help me about the Rosa template that was previously used by default onto Blot. I’d like to use that one in my brand new blog, how do I do it?

I'm currently using the diary template and would like to make a few adjustments to the structure of the website. Filtering content on certain pages Right now, all the posts (or entries) appear in the home page. I'd like to create a kind metadata for each entry with either blog or work as possible values. So that only the entries with kind = work would appear on the home page, and the entries with kind = blog would be on a dedicated page called (drumroll...) "Blog". Note that I don't want to use the tags to achieve this result. Entries in blog and work could share some common tags. Hence the need for an additional kind metadata. Different page rendering depending on the kind of entry Last but not least, I was wondering if there was an easy way to differentiate the layout of each entry page. For instance, all kind = blog entries could have a dark background or a "Subscribe to newsletter" button at the bottom. Things like that.

Is there a way to display the number of posts in a tagged article list or the archive? Something like “Archive (182)” and “Tagged ‘news’ (34)”? Thanks!
