I do not see the folder for my website in Dropbox?
I used to have my website in an Apps subfolder called Blogs. That folder has now disappeared from my Dropbox. I don't see it on my desktop and I don't see it in Dropbox on the web. Yet, somehow, according to Blot, the site is located there, which I do not see in my Dropbox either. The site is still live, but, obviously, I'm not sure how I can post to the site or otherwise work with it if I can't find the folders. Is this a Dropbox problem or is it something on your end?
Why can I edit every answer?
Every answer has an Edit answer link that allows me, who is not the author of every answer, to edit every answer. This seems...problematic? Is this a bug or am I just confused?
Maximum number of articles on home page?
Can we exceed the total number of articles per page? It is limited to 60. Or, and this would be simpler, make the home page display the following 60 articles in the same way.
How do I edit the top menu on my site?
It used to be possible to edit the menu with all the links from the dashboard, but now i don't see that option anymore
Key for determining if a post is on an index page, or displayed on its own?
On pages where multiple posts are displayed, the <h1> is the page name, e.g.: Archives, Home. Posts titled are rendered in <h2>. On a single post page, the post title is an <h1> tag and subheadings are <h2>, <h3>, etc as needed. All good so far. The issue arises when a post with subheadings is not displayed on its own page, e.g.: when shown on a page showing the ten most recent posts in full. There, the titles are rendered in <h2>, but then the subheadings are one level off. My thought was to write the headings within each post something like: {{{#singleentry}}}h2{{{/singleentry}}} {{{#multientries}}}h3{{{/multientries}}} But I am not sure what the appropriate key would be, if it exists. I had a look through the developer reference doc but didn't see something like this. Since something like this would be useful for things beyond just modifying heading levels, I feel like there must be something that will do the trick that I am simply not seeing. If there's a better way, I'm all ears!

Template variables keep changing to default?
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
How to get a home page at '/' and then have all updates listed below it?
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.

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?

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?
