Questions

I've got an jpg image stored in an Images folder and I'd like to reference it in a <img> tag in a post. Everything I've tried has led to a 404 on the image. If I put other (txt) files in that folder I can access them from the browser but my jpg file always shows up as not found.

I seem to have 2 different blog on Blot and I want to remove them and start anew. Is there any way to delete blogs and start from scratch?

Is it possible to embed images from Flickr and/or Smugmug? They are not mentioned in the documentation so I assume it's not possible.

I'd also like to add all listings to "blog" item instead of the homepage.

Just thought I would share what worked for me for those looking to do the same thing. Add to your CSS file. /* Drop Cap */ .entry > p:first-of-type::first-letter { color: #A52A2A; float: left; font-size: 3em; margin: .1em .1em .1em .1em; line-height: 0.85; }

Hey everyone, where can I find the option to edit locally? I duplicated several templates to try to find that option, even went through the site source to try to find it.

I changed the 3 colors (background, nav background, accent) in the template on the web, but anytime I publish a change to a page it reverts. Any help?

I see to edit the menu it's not under editing your template the website. However the section does not seem to be usable in the browser. Everything is all over the place and it's hard to click things because of odd alignments. Is there a way to edit menus when just editing a template locally?

Hey! I remember that it was possible to enable TeX server side rendering, but now I can't find this option under Publishing settings. Is this still available? Blot uses KaTeX on the server side and does not require the visitor to enable JavaScript

The date appears at the top of posts. How do I keep intact the date next to post titles in the archive but hide it in posts? Thanks.

I have an "about" Page, and a Post that links to it. At the bottom of the "about" Page, there is the Links here/backlinks section that appears at the bottom of regular Posts. I’d like to disable this for Pages, but keep it for Posts. I had a look through the entry.html template, and I can see the section that adds backlinks right above the section that adds pagination. Pagination is not shown on Pages, but backlinks are, but to my untrained eye, I don't see a difference between the way the sections for backlinks/pagination are set up in the template.

I have downloaded a few of the templates and unzipped them and, one at a time, dropped them in the Templates folder of my Blot folder but it seems to have no effect. Is there a way to enable or activate a template?

Is there a way to turn a folder of images into a post instead of having each one show up one by one?

Thanks.

I create a new post for concerts I attend. Currently, I include the venue name as a piece of custom metadata. I would like for this piece of metadata to be clickable, to show all other posts that were “tagged” with that specific venue. I could add the venue as its own tag, but then it would be displayed with the other tags, and I would like it displayed separately. But, when I display the venue in its own metadata section, then I can’t retain the functionality of the normal tags. Any way to accomplish this or something like this?

Wondering how to change the font size of the auto-generated tags in the magazine template. Want to make them smaller. Searched for it in the custom CSS but between "tags," "tag list," and "tagged" I didn't really have a clue what I was doing.

Your back links feature works well (at least in Magazine template) so the geek in me is curious how it works, how does Blot know there are existing links to a post? Does it scan the site or some internal database when a new post is generated?

What do i need to do to make the text column larger in the magazine template?

It doesn't look like there is any templating power to how "/random" is resolved. I notice though that random script will show any entry on my blog even it has a "search: no" metadata. In fact it appears that random script just loves showing those "hidden" entries )), giving them a priority. Could we please: a). agree to exclude "search: no" entries from the /random, and perhaps b). introduce a new metadata "random: no" or a template view, or, at least, c). give an option to disable random script in site settings
