Remove website title from browser tab on specific pages?
Is it possible to remove my website title from the browser tab, just on the homepage? I'd just like it to say "Home" without it being followed by the name of my website. Thanks!

Not able to delete a post
I created a post and now it is not getting removed from my blog even though the file has been deleted. I had initially connected by Google Drive. I have now connected it to Dropbox. But it is still the same problem. How do I delete the post? Interestingly, this post was created for one of my blogs. It somehow is being duplicated to my second blog, where it was never there as a file.
Ghost Post
I'm looking for help with a ghost post. An old post continues to appear on my blog even though the .txt file is no longer in my google drive folder. I cannot figure out a way of removing it. All help is welcome !
Blog Post Showing Up Twice
I use Google Drive to sync to my blog. I added a file to the folder, then moved it to a tagged folder, and now the post is showing up twice on my blog, despite having deleted any duplicate files and reloading my Drive and my blog. The "Fix Your Folder" option is not working, and the post is showing up twice in my Archives as well. Also, as an aside, old tags that I have removed from posts are still showing up in my Archives. Help!
Avoid images on homepage
I'm new to all this and palying around a bit. I use Obsidian as MD editor and am publishing my first post. When I write my post I want to add an image to it. That image is in the same folder as the post. Now when Blot picks things up it shows both the image and the blog post on the homepage. Can I avoid that? What is your folder strategy when working with images??
Notifications for question answers?
I'm a big fan of this Questions section of Blot since it lets me try to find solutions to problems on my own before reaching out to the contact email or asking a new question. However, it's hard to keep track of questions and when they are answered. Right now, I make a task to follow up on the question's URL and then periodically try to run back down the list to see if anything's changed. Would you consider adding a 'notify me' feature that sends an email or something when a particular question gets a new answer? Ideally, I could "subscribe" to any question, even if I hadn't asked it, since there are topics others have brought up that I'm eager to learn more about. I guess I'm thinking of something like Discourse, which I've seen other places use, but maybe you don't want to go down that route.
Permalink on entry title instead of date
Is there a fairly straightforward way to set the permalink to the entry title rather than the date that is displayed for that entry from the entries list?
The "fix your folder" link isn't working and the syncing is not happening
Any idea to why that is happening? I've been away from my blot recently, but started using again and am noticing that 1) the reset button doesn't work, 2) the sync is not happening (or seems stuck) and 3) i'm not allowed to choose the folder on google drive anymore?
CSS tweaks to logo/website name
Hi! Loving Blot and delighted to be moving towards it as my main platform. I've just been doing some minor tweaks to the Diary template - increasing the size of the text in the navigation bar with a slight adjustment to opacity. (Also tweaked the blockquote right margin font size which was a bit teeny for my feeble eyes.) I'd quite like to increase the size of the website name (and is it possible to add a small logo/image alongside the name?) as it is currently just a little smaller than H1 text. Any help appreciated - though I will understand if you re-direct me towards a developer as we're getting into custom template territory.

Helper functions documentation?
I see there is a {{#is}} used in the entries.html for the blog template. Is there a list of these "helper" functions somewhere?
Changing the menu link colour on the blog template?
Can I make it so that the menu is shown with the accent colour rather than gray? I'm using (a slightly customised version of) the Blog template.
Questions about multiple blogs?
Is it ok that users can create new blogs at the same price of their existing blogs? If someone wants to blog about many topics, should they put everything on one blog or create several blogs? Is there a way to tag and sort posts accordingly? I also noticed that after logging in on blot.im it refreshes the page and the "log in" and "sign up" buttons are still there until the user clicks on "log in" again. It's not a big deal since the user knows what to do.
How to hide a *formatted* blog post?
I am trying to post a few archived blog posts on my site, and I want to link to them manually, but I don't want them to show up in the blog roll or the page menus. I have been able to hide posts and pages from view, but when I do, the txt or md file doesn't process; it just shows up as monospace text which isn't user friendly. Is there a way to solve this?
Group Posts Number
I know that {{total_posts}} gets me the number of every published post. Is there a similar query that will give me just the number of posts in a given group (i.e. month). You can see what I'm trying to accomplish here:
How to "hard code" the JSON variables into a script tag when I need them in the JavaScript of a page
Following up on this question I would like to find out more in detail how to "hard code the JSON variables into a script tag" when I need to work with them in JavaScript. For example the tags variable in the page's JSON structure, how can I access this in JavaScript? Do I read it out of the DOM , say, in the load event? Sorry, but I am a bit confused here.
