Questions

I am trying to find a way to change page/1 to /blog/ as my post URL scheme is blog/{{slug}}. How is this possible? I just want to display what is on page/1 on /blog/ instead.

I have only been able to generate in-line footnotes rather than footnotes that appear at the bottom of the page using the "[^1]" and "[^1]: footnote next" format. I also played around with various versions of this, but couldn't get it to work. Just as an aside, I am new to Blot and absolutely love it. I really appreciate having this platform. Thank you! My test site is available at austinkocher.blot.im, though it's still a bit of a mess right now as I get things set up.

I have a question or two about how I can use blot to stage some longer form writing I am doing. I write blog posts now in the "posts" folder. These are day to day or so views. The longer form writing would be more words but still markdown formatted. I would like to link to these articles from a landing page but not have them in the same posts folder and also hidden unless someone visits the landing page. I thought of a folder like _stories and then place all the markdown files in there and create the links on the landing page as I go. Is there another way you could suggest publishing longer form writing?

Do you have recommendations for where to publish the .mp3 files? Is it possible to keep them in my Blot’s Dropbox or should I upload it to some site that is for uploading/sharing .mp3? For the latter, would you please also recommend some YouTube-equivalent good sites for uploading .mp3 files? Thank you! I asked about this as a comment on this question but I guess you'd not have received notification for it, so created this new question. :)

I've just published my first blog and notice sponsored content at the bottom of the post Does anyone know how to remove this? I'd really rather not have this content on my posts. Thank you in advance

I can find a few questions/answers regarding how to display tags, but I can not work out how to add tags to my posts. I am expecting the answer to be simple and to prove my ignorance - but please enlighten me!

Is there a way to query all Pages (instead of Posts) in order to create a custom menu? It looks like {{#all_entries}} doesn't included anything flagged as a page in the meta data, resulting in the inability to filter out only the pages using something like {{#Page}} within the {{#all_entries}} query. Use case: I'd like to create a secondary (footer) menu where I can list a different set of pages than what is shown in the main menu. In the meta data something like this could be used: Page: yes Footer: yes Ideally I could query for {{#Page}} and then within that {{#metadata.footer}} (or something of the sort) to pull the desired pages. In terms of creating a menu, I could likely wrangle the {{#menu}} query and do something fun within it but I didn't know if there was an easier way to list Pages and not Posts

I need further help related to this question: Image galleries / slideshows / masonry layouts Where you have recommended PhotoSwipe to show multiple images as a slideshow of sorts. But I'm a newbie when to comes to adding code to the template, and then I'm not sure how I'd need to format my post to show images. Can you please guide me on: how to update the template for this (which code to copy and where). Please also share if there are any other tools/ways to achieve this (other than through PhotoSwipe). I need a very basic carousel type slideshow that shows images in their full size. how to format a multi-image post (I currently follow a structure where I have a folder for each post: content .txt file + related image file (if I have an image to add) are within one folder. Thank you so much!

I put a file in my Files folder, prepended with the _ character so it didn't become a post. When I right-click > download on the link on the post, it just downloads the 404 html page. Can I make a link just a file download from dropbox?

Is it possible to include tags in the permalink?

CommonMark doesn't support the CSS styles extension, so I am using a HashHack to style images. For example an image beer.jpg with HashHack would look like beer.jpg#left30, which is then declared in CSS as img[src*="#left30"]. This is somewhat cumbersome and doesn't really allow nesting or precedence, but it works. However, if I am checking the "optimize and cache" in Blot's settings, the hash is (this is 100% within the standard, I am not complaining) discarded. So I need a different way to style images that does not involve using img tags (well, I could, but I am trying to convince academics to use this, and they're famously tech-illiterate :). Any ideas?

I was trying out the draft functionality and I noticed that the HTML page that gets added to the Drafts folder is just an iframe that pulls in http://[my site name].blot.im/draft/view/Drafts/[the file name]. And if I open a private browsing window and enter that URL I can see the draft on the public internet. That means that anyone could guess or bruteforce their way to reading my drafts. That seems... not ideal? And definitely makes me wary of storing drafts in the Drafts folder unless I'm just about to publish them.

As the question says, I don't use these previews and would like to turn them off. My Drafts folder has ~75 files in it at any one time and it's hard to find the things I want when editing/publishing from my phone (which I do more frequently than I'd like). On the desktop I filter them out, but on mobile it's a bit frustrating. Any tips (if turning the feature off isn't possible)?

This is a recurring problems from our site. I need help to delete this page. Somehow when I edited existing .md files, the older version of its page on the site remain and other new page will be created (in this case this page). Is there something on the code that I can check?

It used to be possible to edit the menu with all the links from the dashboard, but now i don't see that option anymore

I currently have this block in archives.html: <div> {{#allEntries}} <a href="{{{url}}}">{{title}}</a> <span class="small">{{date}}</span> <br /> <div class="spacer8"></div> {{/allEntries}} </div> Instead of allEntries is it possible to remove entries that have tag x?

This is probably an obvious question, but is there a way on the Blog template for it show to the left (or right) on a desktop screen, but at the top on mobile? The default at the moment shows the navigation to the left and it completely squeezes out the main body.

Is there a way to add <meta name="robots" content="noindex" /> to an individual markdown page? Presumably if I put the HTML tag in the markdown it'll appear within <body></body> and so will be noncompliant with the HTML specification. Thanks!

I'm trying to add a simple animation to page content when it loads, targeting the class main. This works all well and good but it disrupts the image zoom overlay (the images don't display in the lightbox). Is there any way to target this div but ignore the native zoom effect? I don't know much about the zoom effect stuff but wondering if there's a way. .main { opacity: 0; transform: translateY(10px); animation: fadeInMoveUp 0.3s ease-out forwards; } @keyframes fadeInMoveUp { to { opacity: 1; transform: translateY(0); } }

I have a content which still appear after I delete the file in my GDrive folder. Previously I have explored multiple ways of making different menus to categorize my contents like "Projects" and "Notes" menu (which will have different type of contents/files). The introduction "Projects" file which I created earlier still stuck in the home page. How to delete this content or reset the template?
