Setting up FeedPress
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?
Change of template colors
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?
Magazine theme - adding copyright notice to bottom of sidebar?
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.
Figure tags?
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> ?
Not last in the menu list?
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
How to create a page with iframe?

Access denied when cloning Git
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?
Add support for pagination for tagged & all entries?
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
Two blogs, one domain, drastically different load times
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.
Backup Custom Template?
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?
Exclude some tags in list of tags
Is there a way to exclude some specific tags from being displayed in a list of tags (i.e. {{#all_tags}})? Thanks!
Redirects with query strings not working?
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?
Changing fonts and TeX typesetting
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.
Home Page
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 :)
Commento loads different comments if there's a trailing slash in URL
I just discovered that Commento seems to register URLs with or without trailing slashes as different posts. Is this expected behavior? Is there any way to redirect the version with the trailing slash to the version without, so comments won't keep being split on future posts?
First item in entries array
I'd like to create a link to the most recent post with a specific tag. I can use {{recent_entries}} or {{all_entries}} and filter by tag but I can't find a way to get (or reference) only the first result. Elsewhere I have pagination of entries working as I want so I don't want to change local.page_size for the whole blog. Is this possible please?
What drives the sizing of images on the front page of the Magazine layout?
I've tried a few things to see if I can affect what makes some thumbs large and some small, but haven't figured out what the pattern might be. One entry has a single image and its thumb is small on the front page, another entry has a single image and its thumb is large on the front page.
All posts by tag
Is there a way to loop through every tag and then print all entries with that tag below it? i.e. the /tagged/example page but with every tag and its entries, without having to specify each one individually.
