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: {||||}    {||||}    {||||}    {||||}    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?

pCloud client status
Hello, I saw a ticket for the pCloud in the potential new features page, is there traction on that? Thanks as always for the excellent work
"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?
Remove infinite scroll?
Is there a way to remove infinite scroll from a theme? I can't find the javascript for it in the source.
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.
List all pages of entries in a <select> element
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.
Archives for custom metadata
Does the template engine have a view built-in for archive pages for custom metadata, like it does for tags?
Multiple languages?
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?
i18n?
Does anyone know of any templates or tools to support two different languages on the Blot website?
How to stop Files showing up as posts?
I have separate dirs for Files, Pages & Posts. How can I use the Files dir to host things like images without them showing up as their own posts?
How to center an image in post?
Just what the subject says, I'm wondering how to center an image included in a markdown file. I know how to put them in the margins, change the size/scale, but wasn't sure if there was a simple way to do this on Blot.
Restart your subscription option?
I (regrettably!!) clicked to cancel my subscription while looking at other website options, but decided ultimately to stay on Blot. However, when I try to click 'restart my subscription', it doesn't load anything or go anywhere. Is this an issue with Blot itself or on my end?
Twitter auto-embed for x.com URLs?
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
Using Android with git?
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.
Using drafts folder while syncing via Git?
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?
Expose Exif data?
Could I make a feature request for showing Exif data when posting photos? Focal length, ISO, aperture, shutter speed.
How can I connect Blot to a Codeberg repo?
Codeberg is an alternative to Github and can also be linked to Github. I would like to make my Blot website based on a Codeberg repo. How can I do that?
