Is there a way to display the thumbnails on ~/page/1? I'm using a variation of of the Blog template, but I want my homepage to not be the list of blogposts, so instead I have a link to https://www.patternsthatabide.xyz/page/1 on the top bar. So it'd be cool if it displayed thumbnails there.

I am about to import my old wordpress blog to blot. Most of my old posts have comments, sometimes a lot of comments. What is the best way to take those comments with me to Blot?

I'm using the Magazine template for a photoblog. For posts with multiple images, I create a Markdown file with image embeds and a float right {>>} tag on square or landscape images so they are displayed in a similar size as portrait images. However, when posting single images directly, I'm unable to add those tags since there's no Markdown. Is it possible to add the applicable .css class to square and landscape ratio image posts through the template directly? Two examples links from my site: multi image post vs single image post

I have a directory with in Pages with no tags set in the YAML for my newsletter. I've never had a newsletter show up in the RSS feed before, but today the latest one suddenly did. Are Pages supposed to show up in the RSS feed, or was this a bug? I can add a tag to prevent the behavior in the future, but wanted to know before adding something unnecessarily.

I am excited to use the bibliography functionality, but I must be missing something about how it works. I made files out of the example Post and Bibliography from the example page. But the post that ends up on my blog page just looks like the raw text - it hasn't been parsed, i.e. it looks like: Blah blah [see @item1, pp. 33-35; also @item2, chap. 1]. Blah blah [@item1, pp. 33-35, 38-39 and passim]. Blah blah [@item1; @item2]. I put the Bibliography.bib file in the same folder as the text file containing the Post. What am I missing?

I wonder why does the "/random" link stick to the same page from time to time? Is it just my site or anybody else got the same issue? I can't seem to understand the pattern because many times the page refreshes on each click but at times it gets stuck with one page.

Is there a way to enable search for certain pages? I am talking about "user-defined" pages, i. e. stuff in /Pages or with Page: yes, not something like the archives page. Posts work perfectly, but pages, no matter whether they are stored inside or outside of /Pages, do not work, even with the following metadata: Search: yes Is this supposed to work somehow? Considering quite a few people use Blot for / as their "digital garden" / notes / information store, being able to search these pages would be very helpful.

I'm trying to upload an Export of a WordPress site, but I get an error that the "413 Request Entity Too Large". The file is 8.3 megabytes, which doesn't seem all that large. What is the max upload size?

I think I followed the instructions properly, but I'm unable to set a landing page. I have a page where the first line is the following, followed by a blank line. Link: / But instead of setting that as the home page, it's creating a separate page called "Link: /"

I am using the Magazine template and am unable to change the date format when editing the template. All other editing functions work fine, including relative date. But when I change the date format, the changes are not shown in the preview or on the actual site. Once I refresh the editor, the editor shows the default date format again, discarding my changes.

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.

I was trying to add the date and tags metadata info on to the Google Doc. The metadata shows up as text on the actual post. Does Google Doc based publishing support metadata?

I have two posts with slugs. After being published, their URLs have "-2" added right after the slug. I have checked the slugs of each post and confirmed that they are not identical. This leads me to believe that there might be another reason for the addition of "-2" in the URLs. Here is one of the post has a slug "bionic" but it's URL is displayed as being "bionic-2": https://kuoyihs.in/bionic-2.

On my main entries page, if a post is a link post I've updated the CSS to show a unicode arrow symbol after the title so people will know the title will take them to another location. I'm trying to achieve the same behavior on the archives page. This could be driven based on a tag value of 'linkpost'. Is this possible? Example of how it looks on main page (would like the same symbol to appear after the post title on archives based on a tag value being present):

I'm using a forked version of the Blog template for Tangible Life. I like the desktop layout with left and right justified elements, but they look odd on mobile size classes. How can I achieve a centered blog title, then Pages and Search/RSS icons centered below that on mobile only?

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?

I'm not sure what changed for me moving from dropbox to git to sync my blog. I cannot seem to get wikilinks to show up after syncing the repo with some writing I've done. They show up properly in IA Writer version 7 and always showed up correctly previously.

After intermitent recovery following last month's outages, now my home page is now stuck five days behind my site's content. For something that used to be rock-solid, I'm starting to have doubts about Blot's stability.

About 12 hours ago, when trying to open any template for editing, an error appears: "Error: Error rendering /template-editor/preview.html: Unclosed section "tags" at 7088" After duplicating other templates, the result is the same. This is with all templates. The site is working, and the template preview is working too.
