Questions
Title in menu vs title on page?
Is there a way to have the title of the link in the menu be different from the one that appears on the actual page? E.g. Title in the menu: "Work"; title on the page: "Design Portfolio"
Links breaking if inside margin text on mobile
I've been using layout tags such as this one "{|<}" as footnotes for my blog. I frequently include links there. I noticed that on mobile the links do not work. This issue also persists if I use a small browser window on desktop. Thanks.
Dropdown Navbar - possible?
Is it possible to have clickable dropdown menus from the top navigation bar? Can this be currently done with the "Pages" folder concept? I tried creating a simply tree of folders within the "Pages" folder thinking it might work but it gets flattened in one long top navigation menu. David, is this possible to do. Is it template dependent? Are you considering this? I would be a nice feature because we could have more than a few .md files in a directory tree inside the "Pages" folder. Are there any suggestions? It's not a huge request but it would provide some freedom on structure. Thank you —Alex

Can we specify to use CDN for html pages. Right now it is used just for the images.
Plausible Analytics: No Snippet?
I set up Plausible Analytics on my Blot, but it never gave me a field to enter the tracking snippet. Does Blot auto generate that?
How to remove an image post?
After I removed an image from google drive, the image post is still on my blog. How can I remove an image post properly?
Can I use custom slug in metadata ?
In my blog, I use Japanese character as a title. Blot uses a title as a slug to create URL of an article. But we never use Japanese characters for URL. I know that we can specify URLs of articles in Link metadata. But I use "date and title" for Permalink format. I'd like to specify only slug instead of title on metadata of each articles. If I specify "apple" on Link metadata in an article, URL of the article should be "YYYY/MM/D/apple".
How to clear layout formatting for new paragraph?
I used the markdown layout tags to build a grid of images, but the last column formatting appears to be continuing to the following paragraph. Scroll down here to see the example: https://semeiotica.com/ The markdown code is this: {||||} ![1](/posts/crest/_cartouche.png) ![5](/posts/crest/_droplet2.png) ![8](/posts/crest/_sparc_logo.png) {||||} ![3](/posts/crest/_gate2.png) ![6](/posts/crest/_NGI_logo200.png) ![9](/posts/crest/_KitLogo_Color@4x.png) {||||} ![4](/posts/crest/_mondial.png) ![7](/posts/crest/_coclimate_logo_bl.png) ![10](/posts/crest/_ae_logo.png) {||||} ![2](/posts/crest/_g.png) ![12](/posts/crest/_worldviews.png) ![11](/posts/crest/_genocartouche.png) Is there any easy fix?
Arbitrary folder structures?
If I create some folder structures in my blog's folder for additional pages, will those pages be functional on the blog? For example, will the .md file in Evil-Plan/schemes/phase-1.md be published at /Evil-Plan/schemes/phase-1? Addendum: if so, is this an accurate list of reserved top-level folders?

"This file is not a post because it was ignored"
What is the cause of this message? It happens every once in a while that I just can't publish a file. I first suspected issues with the frontmatter, but everything seems to be in order there. Is there anything else I need to check?

Any cookies?
It seems that Blot does not set any cookies, is that correct? I'm asking because of GDPR. I would need to ask for cookie-consent if it is the case.

Is there a way to include all pages in a <select> element, so users can choose a specific page rather than clicking "view older posts" over and over? Thanks for such a wonderful platform.

Editing Menu
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?
