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; }

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

I'm getting a number of pages rendered on my site, the files for which were deleted from my folder (sync via Git), not only it causes the removed content to appear on my website and get indexed but it also creates a cascade of broken links as aa existing a-file.md render as a-page-name-2. Looks like it's an ongoing trouble and I want to learn how to fix it Could have something to do with git, as I noticed that many times when I move a file from subfolder to subfolder my git client shows it as deleted and created anew. I also noticed that if I commit several linked files at once - the wiki-links between them (and the backlinks) are likely not to render correctly and I need to put a line break or edit something to refresh the pages and correct the links

My site is nothing special, just old school blog I throw personal crap on. I had a few vertical videos taken on phone I put up, I converted them to .mp4 whcih works. When it comes to sizing and how to post them I was wondering if anyone had any advice, Here are two posts I have videos in. They work, just advice. https://darrencohen.me/2024-big-east-tournament https://darrencohen.me/7-train-arrival

For the past few years I've been using a {{YYYY}}/{{M}}/{{slug}} format for my links. I'm reconsidering not having that leading 0 for the month. What will happen to old posts if I change it to {{YYYY}}/{{MM}}/{{slug}}?

Just found the blocks or changes on todo page (https://blot.im/news) is now disappeared?

I am learning Markdown and today I tried to add an image but it went pear shaped. I looked up the basic code for adding image but I cannot get it to work. It will be a local image on my drive.
