Questions

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 :)

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?

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?

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.

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.

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.
