Questions

I started using the Mira template and I saw it had a search.html page and an archives.html page. I wanted to merge them, so I added a search field to the archives page, following all the same logic that's defined in the search page. But the search that I added to the archives page didn't actually work--the JSON data for the page doesn't contain the query parameter when I run the search from archives.html, even though the exact same code works on search.html. Does Blot have a special case for the search.html page of some sort?

I'm trying to add a simple animation to page content when it loads, targeting the class main. This works all well and good but it disrupts the image zoom overlay (the images don't display in the lightbox). Is there any way to target this div but ignore the native zoom effect? I don't know much about the zoom effect stuff but wondering if there's a way. .main { opacity: 0; transform: translateY(10px); animation: fadeInMoveUp 0.3s ease-out forwards; } @keyframes fadeInMoveUp { to { opacity: 1; transform: translateY(0); } }

If I am on a blog post page with tag x, y and z, is it possible to only show other items that have tags x y or z?

I do I remove the phantom links in blue showing on my links pageThere is no delete option

I noticed that if I change the template variables in the Templates/Portfolio view (either in the code directly or in the template preview/editor), those variables will change back to default at some point in the future. I didn't measure exactly how long does it take to go back to the default, but basically every time I go back to my website and check it, the variables are default. I can instantly see it cause the main variable I'm trying to change is the "Thumbnail size". Here's my website: https://lotafak.blot.im/ Please advise! Thank you

I'm pretty close to what I want at https://rapidresponsechoir.org, but the index.md file with: --- Link: / --- # Rapid Response Choir seems to stuck at a date in February and I'd like the most recent posts to be listed underneath. I'm using the Magazine template. Also, how do I get consistent top banner photo across all pages? Thanks! - PeterB

In the markdown page_footer: Back to <a href=/Weather>my local weather</a>. {{entry.metadata.page_footer}} Then displays as this plain text on the generated pageThe HTML shows, not a link Back to <a href=/Weather>my local weather</a>.

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?

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.

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?

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?

Could I make a feature request for showing Exif data when posting photos? Focal length, ISO, aperture, shutter speed.

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?

I have a post with a tag, and I'd like to hide it from my blog.

Is there a way to set a default thumbnail image that will be used for posts without an image attached?

I am working on a static homepage and part of that I would like to have a section where It just lists the 5 most recent posts with no summary. Output would be something like: TITLE posted on DATE I tried just getting list of all entries as a start but just showing blank area {{#recent_entries}} <p><a href="{{url}}">{{title}}</a></p> {{/recent_entries}}
