Questions

When I try to upload the blog's photo that will be used as the browser tab favicon (and also show up as avatar in the header as I've modified the template to show it), it's just not uploading the file. When I click "Save Changes" it doesn't save changes and again shows the "No file chosen" text. I tried with a PNG as well as JPG. Please let me know if there are certain requirements around this that I'm not following.

I cannot seem to find a way to embed audio files uploaded to my Dropbox. I can get a link to a Dropbox-embedded audio file that will open separately and play via Dropbox, but can't seem to embed this directly. The question How to embed audio in a post? suggests i'm doing something wrong: Can you verify that it works and/or provide an example of it being used with verification that the file is hosted on Dropbox only?

Would anyone know where I can find a no frills HTML contact us form? All I need is an email sent to me, and the form only needs a name, email address and message fields.

Hello, I was wondering, now that there is a super easy way to share templates, do you any place where Blot users might preferably want to share/try external templates? Maybe a GitHub group or something like that? Tags work, but there is not an “official” GitHub repository tag to find them all in the same place.

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?

How can I automatically share my blog posts on Twitter? I can’t seem to find any instructions. Cheers.

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?

I want to make a second blog, unrelated to my first and already started paying for a second account. It's important that my first blog is not influenced by this. Could you confirm that nothing will change - to the outside world - in terms of addresses and links from my first blog when i add the second? I assume that the changes in dropbox needed to have two separate blogs are automatic and below the surface.

How or where do I find a community of bloggers using Blot?

I am madly in love with the bibliography function. It actually was, what made me move to Blot – seriously, you made this scientist very, very happy, good bye self-hosted Jekyll. I would love to, however, move the generated bibliography within the page. My citations can get somewhat ... excessive. So I'd like to move them, within the "Blog" template, after Date, Tags, and Backlinks, and style them the same way those are. For that, I'd need somehow access to the generated HTML. Is that possible?

My blog's front page lists a post where the date is aligned to two lines instead of one (at least on my desktop browser). Is there a way to fix this? Thanks.

Is there a way to enable pagination for tagged urls If a tag has a hundred posts or more, and they have images, it would be nice to only have a page worth of them load and then envoke the pagination navigation. I had tried modifying the entries.html view in conjunction with the tagged.html view but had no luck. Thoughts?

Google blocked blot so I cant connect to my drive and update my site. has this happened to anyone else and how did you get around it?

I was so keen to use Blot, but my custom domain isn't working despite following all the instructions. The issue lies with Blot, not my domain manager (Cloudflare). It's frustrating that I've had no response from requests to support. I fully support the developer's right to take time off, but at the very least I'd expect an out-of-office auto-response. Is Blot really run by just one person? EDIT: Okay, it works now, yay! I suspect the dev is back on board and has fixed things behind the scenes. Blot is such a good fit for me, I'm willing to pay for it even when free options exist for putting my Markdown files online (eg. Quartz or Digital Garden via Obsidian). Fingers crossed more people can shoulder the weight of customer service! I really want to see Blot keep going.

I'm experimenting with blogging a combination of traditional, long form blog posts, and shorter, micro.blog/twitter-like short posts that are just a couple of sentences. This works really well on Blot with the blog theme. However, I was wondering if it's possible to suppress the short form posts in the Archives using some template magic. The best distinction I can think of is that the short posts don't have an explicit title, they're just text. I assume I could do this with custom metadata, but am curious if there's another way. Thanks!

updated the file it got synced my page hasn't been updated even though blot has pulled the updated version. Tried to clear cache, doesn't seem to solve the issue. Updated file once again, it got synced, but the page, again, hasn't updated. Any suggestions how I can update the page/prevent this from happening?

In the Blog template, when I access the search, the border it's crossing the screen limit. Who can I fix this in the style CSS, please? Thank you!

I've seen several example sites where people put images in the margins next to their main body of text. Is this possible on the Magazine template? How would one go about adding a small thumbnail image next to a part of their markdown document? Example. Example; example

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!
