Keeping footnotes?

I am using the Magazine template of which I love the Bignotes. But I would also like the footnotes to be visible at the bottom of the page. Is this possible? Thanks in advance

Remove the date from posts?

I am trying to have a main page and want the date completely gone. How do I do it for a post?

Support for video embed previews in feed?

I've been playing around with the excellent Reference template and having a lot of fun customizing it. While the blog feed is great for tagged images, I'm having a little bit of trouble getting video in the mix. I'm wondering if there's any way to get video embed thumbnails to display in the blog feed similar to image files? Right now they are treated as text posts since they are .md files with a Vimeo URL in them and some info in the file name (date, tags, etc). Ideally a mini version of the embedded player would show in the feed, similar to other templates. I'd be happy with a static thumbnail though, the .post.no-thumbnail style is a little jarring in a sea of image thumbnails. Thx! ♥Jonathan

Self-verification for Mastodon?

Is there's a way to use the self-verification system at Mastodon with a Blot site. Any tips?

Page with Tag

I'm trying to make a custom page that includes a list of posts with a certain tag. I've tried following the instructions on this page, but without success. Here's my code for now.html: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> {{> head}} <body> {{#allEntries}} {{#tagged.Now}} <p><a href="{{{url}}}">{{title}}</a></p> {{/tagged.Now}} {{/allEntries}} </body> </html> I also added this to package.json; { "now.html": { "partials": { "title": "Now - {{{title}}}", "description": "What's up right now." } } } And sitemap.xml: <url> <loc>{{blogURL}}/now/</loc> </url> But heydingus.net/now still leads to a 404. Am I doing something wrong?

Wikilink text default without pipe

I'm rebuilding my linked text-files folder to play nice with Blot and struggle with how Blot renders wiki-links. When all my apps remove path to file when viewing notes, Blot for some reason retains "./path/" inside "a href=". Which forces me to use a "pipe text" every time I need to make a wikilink, i.e. a monkey routine copy-pasting the entry title again and again I insist that the best way to handle wikilinks for Blot will be "Shortest", not "Relative" path, bow to the simple folder design. Shortest path "when possible" is the default for either Obsidian or iAWriter, and it helps to maintain text database, make editing faster, and avoid errors in creating and re-writing links. Even Obsidian misses a ball with fixing links, when files get renamed. Is there a way to adjust template so that Blot will render wikilinks differently, leaving out "path/"? Or is there a script that will do the same or will add a missing "|pipe text" to the end of every link? Or maybe there is an option to always use "entry title" instead of a "link text"?

Number of RSS Subscribers?

Is there any way to know how many people have subscribed to my site’s RSS feed?

Too Many Redirects

Hey friends, I'm attempting to transfer my site from Dropbox to Google Drive — Each time I make it through the Google authentication and receive an email from Google confirming that the sign-in was successful, but instead of being redirected to Blot, I get a 'Too many HTTP redirects' error page. I have tried clearing my cache and have tried using multiple browsers. This appears to be an issue on the Blot end. Blot now thinks I am connected to Google Drive, but none of my files have been transferred across, and all file links on my website are broken. Any suggestions? :)

Why can't I connect to Dropbox or Google Drive?

I just signed up and I cannot get Dropbox or Google Drive to connect. It gives me an error on both as soon as I try to connect.

Inline LaTeX equations

It is straightforward to display a Latex equation on a single line with: $$(some equation)$$ This will create a new line with a displayed equation. But how do I display a Latex equation within a sentence (without displaying the equation on a single line of its own). It is usually done with $(some equation)$ or \( (some equation ) \) or some variant of it, but this does not seem to work with blot.im... Without a mechanism for displaying maths equations "inline", it is basically impossible to discuss any type of mathematics! Relevant: https://github.com/KaTeX/KaTeX/issues/1481 Huge thanks if there is a way to do this!

Is there a way to create a widget to my blog's feed on the homepage?

I've created a new homepage and would like to show the 3 latest posts from the blog on a section of the homepage. Is there a way to write some code to do this? Thanks!

Local Template Not Syncing

Is there something going on with local templating syncing? I made a change to a class in both style.css and archivesContent.html to better describe how it's being used. It looks like Dropbox has synced the changes, but the change is not being respected on my live site.

Pocket is parsing author incorrectly

I can't, for the life of me, figure out how to get the author parsed by read later services. For some reason, Pocket has pulled out "merch" as the author of my posts, and I don't know why. Any ideas? Example post.

Menu Link Items Order

Any idea why my Links don't follow the order I've specified in Settings? See 'Search' not at far right. I've had the order get jumbled from time to time, and I can't figure out why it would change without my interaction.

Where to put and how to reference images used in the templates or in the CSS?

I try to use some small PNG images in the template or better in the CSS. In the CSS file I try something like this: .icon-cat-kickbike { font-size: 24px; padding:0 16px 0 0; background-image: url('_scooter.png') no-repeat right center; } But regardless whether I put the image in my Posts folder or in my template folder (copy-of-scroll), the image is never displayed. Do I have to register the image somehow so that it can be used as an asset? PS: I check rendering on the template preview (URL like https://preview-of-...-on-...blot.im) if that matters.

Issues with Dropbox

Hi. I have definitely saved certain documents to the correct Dropbox folder but it's not showing. Any thoughts appreciated

How to show more post on the entries.html page

How can I show more post excerpts on the entries.html page? Do I have to put a particular variable into the locals section of my package.json? Also, can I paginate entries.html to show even more posts?

Images in subfolder?

How can I put images in subfolders and reference them via ![](_subfolder/image.jpg) I tried exactly this, but the images are not found like this.

Webloc file post

I love that we can just drop a URL into the dropbox folder to make a link post. But is there a way to add just a sentence or two to go along with that link? Thanks!

footer.html or _footer.html

I'm looking into adding a bit of JS code to my site. And from [anorher question}(https://blot.im/questions/730) I got the hint to add it to footer.html. In my fork of blog I have a footer.html -- but in your git repo you point to _footer.html`. What's correct?
