Overnight, I've had for extra links appear in my menu named "page one," "page two", "page three", and "page four." They link to nothing. I have 3 actual pages in my Pages folder - Tenets, Colophon, About - all of which show up. I also added a link to the home page through the dashboard which also appears There are 5 image files in the pages folder, all prefixed with and underscore. So... not sure where those are coming from? Where should I look to remove them?

I would like to set a color for particular sections of text in my post. The intended use would be something like: Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer’s lease hath all too short a date; I want to make the bolded text red, and the italicized text blue. I am currently using the stock Blog template and uploading my posts as .docx files. (My bold/italics/underline and embedded images upload this way, but not text colors.) Where do I change my process to let me apply color to particular passages of text? Should I be uploading in a different file format, or modifying style.css in the Blog template?

I noticed that even when I don't use pagination in my template, typing /page/1 .. /2 .. etc. produces the pages with some result (depending on what's in the template). It's not a big deal, but I wonder if there is a way to disable pagination all along? I tried to create a redirect rule "/page/(.*)" > "/" but it didn't work out either

I seems odd to me that I can easily filter "all_entries" array with "tagged.TagName" but I can not do the same with "recent_entries." If I use the combination inside a template it will output all "TagName" tagged entries within the last 30 entries. I guess the other option is "truncate" the output, but I couldn't find how to do that in the template language reference. I understand that there is a script option, but I'm already hacking too many things on blot with scripts and it's getting dangerous (( {{#all_entries}}{{#tagged.TagName}} <<-- how to limit output ? to X entries --| <a href="{{url}}">{{title}}</a> {{#tagged.TagName}}{{/all_entries}}

I am sure I am just missing something easy so I am sorry for this. Using blog template with full posts, wanted the title to also be link like the date is?

I'm new to Blot and have a question regarding font customization. I'd like to use different fonts for my blog posts (incl. blog title and body) and the title & menus of the blog.

I have display popular_tags on my home page. I want to limit it to the top 10 or 15 most popular tags. How can I do that?
