Can you help me get Simple Analytics working for my site?

I have a blog at tjhayes.com. I am trying to get Simple Analytics working. On their website, they say I should insert a few lines of code into my webpage. But, when I am on blot.im and edit my template, there are several pages listed. Do I add that Simple Analytics code to the "entries.html" page, or to a different one?

KaTeX server side rendering

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

Citation Questions

As long as my posts were in the root directory of my site along with the .bib file used, all was well. After moving them into /Posts, the Bibliography: metadata unchanged, the two do not seem to be assoicated anymore. It works well on the individual entry page, but no longer on the index page. Which I don't mind as much, but it's still strange. Additionally, do you have a documentation somewhere, which CSL are installed and which value to set with the metadata field to get, say, AMA style?

Order of Pages

Morning, You used to be able to reorder the pages on the navigation link through settings, but that seems to have disappeared since the redesign of Blot.im... unless I'm going nuts! Is this still an option?

Unable to add new links to the site's menu

The "+Add new link" button doesn't work. It has a "#!" href but no event listener so nothing happens.

RSS Feed: Template error after making changes (and also after reverting)

To change the URL of my RSS feed to /rss I renamed the template from feed.rss to rss and adjusted the link inside the template. This didn't work and just gave me an Error with your template when visiting the /rss route. So I changed it back to the way it was before and now I'm still getting the same template error. I also tried using RSS templates from other themes, every time the same error :( What can I do to restore my feed?

Posts not being updated from Google Drive

Lately, I'm adding new posts into Google Drive but the blot site doesn't update, previous time it took some many hours and the latest update still not being published. Is there any limitation of posts or what could be the reason of this large delay? Thanks

How do I blockquote text in a Google Doc?

I'm trying Google Docs as my post editor ... I want to make a par of text appear as a blockquote, but attempts so far have failed. Tried using Google Docs support for Markdown, using a ">" character at the start of the paragraph, but that didn't work. Next, tried to use Google Docs built-in "indent" command, that didn't work either. Is there another way?

Is there a way to increase the size of default photo for my website?

I'd like the default photo to be more prominent on my home page. Is there a way to increase the size? I know very little about coding and I didn't see this addressed elsewhere. Thanks!

How do you hide the alt text for images from appearing in Blog template?

Is there a way to hide the alt text/image description for images posted in the Blog template? I'd like to be a good netizen and have the alt text available for those who may need it, but don't want it necessarily showing as the image description below the image itself. Thanks!

Custom Metadata Defaults

If I'm using custom metadata, is there a way to set a default in the template?

Menu doesn't render inside entry context?

I'm still investigating this other question and as part of that I'm back and forth looking at what the template debug is giving me and what I'm trying to access. One thing that I'm seeing now though is that, when inside of #entry, I'm able to use #allEntries, even though that's declared outside the scope of entry. The docs mention searching for parent keys so I suspect that is why. However, when I try to do the same for #menu, nothing is rendered if I'm inside #entry, even though menu/allEntries exist at the same json level and are outside of entry. Is this a bug or intended behavior? I'd definitely like #menu to be used inside of an entry, especially given that I need entry metadata.

For dates, is is possible to only display the month and year?

I'd like dates to appear just as month and year. Without the day. Is that possible? If so, where would I make the change? Using the Magazine template. Thank you!

How to hide text if it's the homepage

I'd like to hide a link on my homepage. I thought using the below conditional on the page variable would work but it didn't work and the text is hidden everywhere. Any ideas? {{^page}}The text I want to hide.{{/page}}
