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?

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

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?

Is there a way to remove infinite scroll from a theme? I can't find the javascript for it in the source.

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?

As the question says, I don't use these previews and would like to turn them off. My Drafts folder has ~75 files in it at any one time and it's hard to find the things I want when editing/publishing from my phone (which I do more frequently than I'd like). On the desktop I filter them out, but on mobile it's a bit frustrating. Any tips (if turning the feature off isn't possible)?

Is it possible to make the layout of my "photos" page into a gallery view similar to this example, instead of displaying it as a text list? For context, I currently use a tag to generate a page of all photos. Did I set this up correctly, or is there a better way to achieve a gallery layout?

Is there any documentation that outlines the fundamental architecture behind the various sync options? While I’ve found setup guides for each method, I’m particularly interested in understanding how each one works under the hood. My goal is to select a sync method that best fits my needs while also being as straightforward and reliable as possible from your perspective. Of all the supported sync methods, which are considered the most robust and low-maintenance?

I am really trying to leverage the use of my markdown files across multiple applications without duplicating them. For that reason, I want to use Blot and the Notebooks app (by Alfons Schmid) on the same folder of markdown files in my iCloud Drive based Obsidian vault. The issue I anticipate is that Notebooks creates a plist file in the folder, and I don't want that file published or uploaded to Blot's servers. Normally, I can exclude a file with an underscore; I can prevent it from being published by applying "Draft: True" in YAML. But neither of these options are available with the plist file. In the past, I have used Blot.im's GIT option and I could create an exceptions list to exclude plist files, but I'd like to try using the (relatively) new iCloud Drive option. Can anyone tell me (a) if I can prevent the plist file from being uploaded and (b) if uploaded, would the plist file actually be published?

How can I hide the date in my entry.html template only for pages (not posts)? Alternatively, is it possible to use separate templates (page.html and post.html) for pages vs. posts? Or can I prevent date generation for pages entirely?

I tried adding an underscore to the folder name and also to the image name inside the folder, but then blot ignores the image in the markdown post. Any advice?

When setting up folder sync does blot only need readonly access to the share?

As a newbie... I'm somewhat confused with templates. The links on the templates page don't marry up with the links on the dashboard, i.e. in relation to the list of available templates. If I select one of the templates and choose "Install template" nothing seems to happen (other than the page changing to https://blot.im/sites). Also what's the significance of the Templates folder on my sites? Re. the option to download a template, what's the value of that, do I place the files in the Templates directory.
