Questions

Hi! Is there any recommended way to display multiple images in a single post alongside text, either as a carousel (e.g. Lightweight image slider) or as a masonry layout (e.g. PhotoSwipe or Masonry)?

I am working on a post with some latex equations. They look great and everything, but when there is a latex error of some kind it fails silently, and prevents changes from reflecting in my post. Tracing down an error is a lot of work, but I isolated a few of them, and now that I've traced the problems, I am completely baffled. Very mundane things like adding () around something can cause it to fail, and I can't figure out why. For example I have a line $$A_{ij}$$ contains $$(X_{i,c}W_{c,0})X$$. which apparently works fine because the page renders, but if I change it to $$A_{ij}$$ contains $$(X_{i,c}W_{c,0})(X)$$. then all changes I make to the document are blocked, and aren't reflected until I remove the surrounding () from X. Another problematic snippet is The resulting attention matrix is $$ A = XW^Q W^K^\intercal X^\intercal $$ Which renders the middle W^K correctly, but everything else is left as plain text.. Then if I include the subsequent paragraph, again, changes are blocked. While this is easy to lay out, it is very difficult to interpret. The meaning of each barcode depends entirely on which other barcodes are present, so the meaning of $$W^Q$$ and $$W^K$$ can't be nailed down without context. But if I remove it I can make changes again (but the proceeding equation still renders wrong) I can't reproduce any of these issues with my own local latex environments, and I've tried all kinds of variations to figure out what is wrong. Does anyone know what is going on?

I'd like to offer access to files, the folder view from the dashboard is fantastic - is there a way I can have a public facing page like this?

I'm using git and my new posts are going through to my blog (I can see them in the dashboard). However, they are not showing up on the main page of my blog. Some are showing on the archives page and some aren't. This just started today.

Is there a way to change or manipulate stylesheets for minor changes that can affect the entire site? For example, just want to change the behavior of hyperlinks without manually recreating the existing pages.

I’ve already forked the diary template and tried to create a new html file for this “Blog” page. But this new blog.html file does not show anywhere on the published site. I would like to display a link to this page inside the header. My understanding is that it has to do with the views in the package.json file, but I’d like to learn more about the best way to implement this properly.

Like [Main Tag] [Sub Tag] 2023 > 09 > 20 > My Scheduled Blog Post with Folder Tags.md ?

Is there a way to display the number of posts in a tagged article list or the archive? Something like “Archive (182)” and “Tagged ‘news’ (34)”? Thanks!

I would like to customize my template so the home page has a couple sections that show the first 3 posts of a couple different tags. So far I have {{#all_entries}} {{#tagged.SomeTag}} {{title}} {{#tagged.SomeTag}} {{/all_entries}} But I'm not sure if I'm able to limit all_entries or access certain elements of the array with Mustache. Also, is there a way to combine inverted sections? Like if I want to filter out multiple tags from all_entries?

I'm currently using the diary template and would like to make a few adjustments to the structure of the website. Filtering content on certain pages Right now, all the posts (or entries) appear in the home page. I'd like to create a kind metadata for each entry with either blog or work as possible values. So that only the entries with kind = work would appear on the home page, and the entries with kind = blog would be on a dedicated page called (drumroll...) "Blog". Note that I don't want to use the tags to achieve this result. Entries in blog and work could share some common tags. Hence the need for an additional kind metadata. Different page rendering depending on the kind of entry Last but not least, I was wondering if there was an easy way to differentiate the layout of each entry page. For instance, all kind = blog entries could have a dark background or a "Subscribe to newsletter" button at the bottom. Things like that.

I love the ability to feature posts and make them sticky through custom metadata which I've added to my template e.g. Sticky: yes Rest of post here... However, one issue I've found is that pagination unsticks the posts. As soon as they have gone off of the front page, they are no longer sticky. Is there any way to change this? Thanks!

I've modified the Magazine template to add a footer. When I click on a category, and click on all section on the top right, and scroll down, the part where I've footer copyright policy etc, isn't aligned like the rest of the pages. How do I fix that?

This is the most trivial thing, however, I have a homepage set with the metadata: Permalink: /and no matter whether or not I include (blank) Title: metadata, the page's title (in a browser tab) displays as '- [Site Title]'. All my other pages display as '[Page Title] - [Site Title]', so I get that this is the page looking for a page title, not finding one, but leaving in the hyphen delimiter. Is there a way to stop it doing that, and just display the [Site Title]? I can do it site wide by taking the '>' out of this line in head.html: <title>{{> title}}</title>, but that makes the title of every other page look weird. Any and all suggestions appreciated.

I'm fine with the chronological order of photos in the general feed, but I have a few tagged portfolios that I would like to display in a fixed order. I know date/time labeling them in the filename will do this, but then that date/time is displayed on screen. Is there a way to order them whilst hiding the date and maintaining a caption, which will also be in the filename? I tried using nested dated folders, which I guess works although they need to be numbered in reverse to display in the correct order.

I'd like an external contractor to update the templates and CSS of my site to provide a new design that is beyond my capabilities to implement. How do I work with them? My ideal would be to have a locally hosted version of my site that I could collaborate with the contractor via github and PRs. Is that an option? Or something like it? I don't want to just give them the password to my Blot account and let them go to town.

Dear friends who know more about JavaScript than me, do you think I can do this on my Blot site without a) breaking things; b) taxing Blot in some burdensome way?

It's been two months since I noticed that some of my tags kept disappearing from my tags list. I found that I could make them come back by just changing the folder name (I use folders with brackets to create my tags). At first I thought the tags that were disappearing were random, but recently I concluded that they were always the same and what they have in common is that they are all graphic accentuated words (words with graphic marks such as á ó ê): [Diários de viagem], [Memórias em fotos] and [Séries]. I'm from Brazil so I always use a lot of graphic marks in words since I write in Portuguese. Has anyone experienced something like this and know how I can solve this problem?

I'd like to use the links to point to the contents of a folder. So if they click "NPCs" the resulting page will be all the NPCs in my NPC folder (in my synced google drive folder). Is that possible? If so, how? I can't seem to figure it out.

I've already tried implementing javascript into my blog posts which works perfectly, but I'm curious if there's a way to also use frameworks so that we don't need to write vanilla JS all the time. Specifically I'm thinking of things like React, Svelte, or MDX. My use case is that sometimes I like having interactive components within my blog posts that may take an input from earlier up in the post and cascade the changes throughout the other components in the post.

The server was caught in a deathloop, failing to restart properly. this meant that everything that wasn't cached failed to load. The issue is now resolved. I'm extremely sorry, and i will properly get to your emails when i return on Monday. I'm on vacation, which I hope explains but does not excuse the delay
