Questions

After I removed an image from google drive, the image post is still on my blog. How can I remove an image post properly?

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".

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: {||||}    {||||}    {||||}    {||||}    Is there any easy fix?

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?

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?

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.

Does the template engine have a view built-in for archive pages for custom metadata, like it does for tags?

I have content available in more than one language. Is there a simple way I can let a visitor choose the language in which a post is displayed?

It'll always be Twitter to me, but it'd be good if the Twitter auto-embed feature would also work with x.com links.

Is there a way to exclude some tags from being listed in the {{#popular_tags}} list? Thanks, Ray

Hi everyone. Curious how people use git syncing with Android. There is no working copy app on android. I found an app called git sync on the play store and I could use termux I guess. Now I use dropbox and its very easy to publish blog posts. If I were on iOS it would be pretty easy to switch. Thanks for any pointers. BTW, I just use Markor the markdown text app to write with these days.

The title kind of asks the question. I am not a big enough Dropbox user where I have the app on my Mac, so I update all via Git. It works great, outside of the drafts feature. Right now I push a commit and then a minute later I will just do a pull request to get the preview. Is this the best practice to be able to preview or is there a better way?
