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}}

As long as my posts were in the root directory of my site along with the .bib file used, all was well. After moving them into /Posts, the Bibliography: metadata unchanged, the two do not seem to be assoicated anymore. It works well on the individual entry page, but no longer on the index page. Which I don't mind as much, but it's still strange. Additionally, do you have a documentation somewhere, which CSL are installed and which value to set with the metadata field to get, say, AMA style?

I want to create a simple landing page that allows users to put in their email. I want it to connect to an email list I can access to notify people when I have updates abou tmy product. How do I go aboout this?

Morning, You used to be able to reorder the pages on the navigation link through settings, but that seems to have disappeared since the redesign of Blot.im... unless I'm going nuts! Is this still an option?

The "+Add new link" button doesn't work. It has a "#!" href but no event listener so nothing happens.
