For this post I've specified the metadata to be: --- Date: 2021-01-01 17:15 Link: the-2020-upgradies-upgrade-332 Tags: nerdery, podcasts, favorites Author: Jarrod Blundy --- but I want the permalink to follow the Link Format that I've specified in settings: /blog/{{YYYY}}/{{M}}/{{slug}} Is there a way to it to work like that? Did I set something wrong?

First of all, thanks so much for this wonderful tool, and your attentive service. I'm actually enjoying creating a site again. Second, on this page I have a phantom image blog post. I've deleted all instances of the image from my file structure, but the image nonetheless persists. Can you please help learn how to remove it? Cheers, Drew

I am unsure what happens if I switch over to editing a template locally. Will the active and current version of the template be saved in a folder on Dropbox (which I am using for my entries and pages)? And what if I, at one point, want to switch back to online editing?

I am changing entries.html so that it only shows {{{summary}}} of a blog post. I would like to indicate a "more" link if there is more text. The {{more}} tag contains this information -- but how can I use this to display a "More" links? Can Mustache do this? Or do I need JavaScript?

I use FeedPress to manage my RSS feed. Ideally it would replace the standard feed for my site. For that I would have to set up a redirection from my site's normal feed to the FeedPress feed, while still giving FeedPress access to the normal site feed so it can be updated. Usually that's done via .htaccess file (see here). Is there any way this can be accomplished?

Another newbie question: In the documentation I read somewhere that I can change the colors (background, text, etc) of the blog. However in the settings I could not find anything relating to this. - Do I need to make my own template for this?

I'd like to add a copyright notice to the bottom of the sidebar in the Magazine theme. By "bottom" I mean the bottom of the viewport (regardless of screen - mobile, tablet, desktop). While I was poking around in the source code, I also saw this reference to a "top" button that should appear in the sidebar if the user scrolls the main content div below the height of the viewbox: <a id="top_button" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;width:3rem;height:3rem;line-height:3rem;" class="mb3 white bg-black-20 lh-title br-100 f3 db tc bn no-underline" href="#top">↑</a> As is, I could never trigger the button's appearance. But when I changed the "bottom:" value to anything but "0," the button did appear — and did function — as expected. I'd also be interested in moving this down to the bottom of the viewport. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

How can I show the latest blog post in its entirety on the home page using Essay. The user could them scroll down to see more posts.

They seem to be working but wanted to confirm support for WebP images?

It looks like an image tag, ![](), generates <p>...<img ...>...</p>. I assume this is a fixed thing, or is there a way to generate <figure><img ...><figcaption>...</figcaption></figure> ?

I'm new to writing templates and I want to create a menu like this item1 - item2 - item3 - item4 My problem is that only want the '-' between the items. With the help of 'last' I can write something like this {{#menu}} <a href="{{url}}" title="{{label}}">{{label}}</a> - {{#last}} <a href="{{url}}" title="{{label}}">{{label}}</a> {{/last}} {{/menu}} Which of course results in two 'item4'. What I haven't figured out is how to match 'this items isn't the last item'. Can anyone tell me how to do this

I'd like to create a page with an iframe snippet, the page is not rendered.

Maybe there is a conflict with my local git but somehow when cloning with GitKraken I got an Unexpected EOF error which doesn't make much sense because I don't think I have any control over whatever git config Blot is using. Then when using the CLI I get 'fatal could not read remote repository make sure you have the correct access rights', Granted I changed urls a couple times. Maybe that's it? Anyway, Dave can you help out?

I'm setting up a page for specific posts based on a tag. This works well using {{all_entries}} and using {{#tagged.topic}} as a filter but pagination no longer works. Pagination would also be useful for /tagged/ pages because they're getting long. Would it be possible to support this? Thanks! Ray

The first blog is on my root domain. The second is on a subdomain. The TTFB is drastically slower on the second (subdomain) blog. The code of both blogs is almost identical. Is this a problem with my DNS provider, Cloudflare, or could my blogs be on different servers, one slower than the other? I'm just trying to diagnose the problem.

Year ago I backed up my custom template. Thought there was an option for that, but not seeing it on the Templates page. How do I do that?

Is there a way to exclude some specific tags from being displayed in a list of tags (i.e. {{#all_tags}})? Thanks!

I noticed that redirects lead to 404 page when the link is accessed from a Facebook post. Apparently, Facebook appends a tracking parameter ?fbclid=* to the url and it messes up the redirect. Is there a way around this?

I would like to change fonts for my posts and perhaps also change the font used in TeX equations and formulas, is that possible? It feels off having text and formulas with different fonts/styles.

I followed the folder structure from the website and have created a page called 'Home' in the Pages folder but now I have two tabs with Home. How do I make the text document my home page? This is the page I want people to land on when they visit. Thanks :)
