Whenever I try to add files to the "Files" folder I get the following error (I'm using GitHub Desktop): "The remote disconnected. Check your Internet connection and try again." It handles all new text files just fine, but if I try to add a png, jpg, or zip it gets rejected and I get an error. How can I get blog.im to host my images? UPDATE: I'm also getting a "500 Internal Server Error" when I try to upload a small jpg via the dashboard here - https://blot.im/dashboard/USERNAME/photo
There seems to be an issue with modifying stylesheets. Every time I try to save changes to a css file (in any of my themes), I get this: 500 Internal Server Error Any help with this would be appreciated. Thanks!
Is there a way to purge all content from the blog without affecting the overall structural logic and the changes made in the CSS and HTML files (i.e through a fresh reinstall)? Essentially starting with a clean slate? Since I am only familiar with MySQL it would be akin to deleting all content from the tables but leaving the table logic and connection as is and not touching the front-end bits at all.
I have a bunch of images from a trip to Bali in a folder tagged [Bali]. I tried adding a markdown file in the same folder (tagged "Bali" in the meta data) in order to add a headline and some textual information. It is actually rendered, however, only at the end of the page underneath the images. Is there a way to push the text from the markdown file to the top of the page? I tried changing the date to be more recent than the images, but images seem to automatically have render priority.
I love the smooth, build-in image zoom (Blog Template), but I have a situation (image in a teaser section on the start page) where I would like to selectively turn it off, because it is preventing the image from being clickable. Is this possible somehow?
I am just getting started with Blot and would like to fork an unsupported template. I've previously tinkered around with that but recently with the changes to the blot site, I'm finding myself unable to access the "Fork" button on that Unsupported Templates page. The only button available to me is the "Preview" button. Is anyone experiencing the same? Does anyone know of a workaround? I would like to preview and fork specifically the Essay Old and Essay Two templates.
Has anyone managed to place a link around an image via markdown? Normally, according to markdown rules, this would look something like this: (/tagged/cats) But for some reason, in my case, the URL part is not recognized but somehow becomes a text which then sits underneath the image.
Hello, I'm trying to create a custom template, but some documentation seems to be missing: https://blot.im/developers/reference
I can't for the life of me get anything to appear on the home page. I added a new page with some custom content and set the link to / but it's still blank. For reference, I forked the blog template, changed some colors and started using it. I'm not sure if the homepage was blank before then because I hadn't uploaded any pages yet. Might be worth noting that the home page doesn't have the colors of the template either. The search page also doesn't have the right colors, but the archive page does. Is there some sort of delay in between making posts / changing template and the homepage updating?
Blot has access and set up the first empty folder, but I can't find it in my google drive.
Not a question but just a request to have the docs updated. It appears that Slug: does the same exact thing as Link:. Was trying to use Slug: as my own metadata and found this out.
Had my URL previously at micro.blog which uses feed.xml. So I tried various things including /feed.xml https://blog.mydomain.me/feed.rss with no luck. the feed.xml still returns a 404. Tried various other things but nothing works. Is this possible to redirect?
Are you willing to share any Shortcuts you use to simplify your publishing workflow?
Blot connects (so far) only to Dropbox as data source. Some writing tools I work with only connect to iCloud. If I want to continue working with both, I would need a sync solution between an iCloud folder and a Dropbox folder. Does anybody know of some online services doing this?
For example, a post title (and file name) is foo. Can the post URL be mysite.com/bar?
I see that in the intro video available in the website, some cool file layouts and formats were shown. Can I get access to those sample layouts to see whats actually possible with Blot?
