Questions

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?

How can I link images from social media, say, Instagram for example without the caption or borderline showing in a post.

I want to restrict access - is it possible to password protect my site?

I'm looking to add some free fonts which are to my liking and I want to apply it all over my site. How can I upload a new set of font pack?

I’m asking if you can help me about the Rosa template that was previously used by default onto Blot. I’d like to use that one in my brand new blog, how do I do it?

I'm having issues setting up Disqus comments on my site

Using home.txt with the following syntax: Link: / [Page 1](/Pages/page1.txt) The resultant page is shown without styles. How do I link this page to a template?

Not sure if it's an error on my google drive sync or if I'm just going about this wrong. I've been able to navigate through pages, blot doesn't support videos does it?

is it possible to turn off my website temporarily? I do not want to delete my account but make the site inaccessible for a limited time. Best regards Florian Guckelsberger

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 forked an existing template but the font picker applied the new font to all the text in the blog. I dug around the source code but couldn't figure out how to achieve it.

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?

I've noticed that all blot blogs no longer show the metadata when posted as a link to discord. This is true for every blot site I've found and tried, including ones with custom domains. There does seem to be a workaround: the metadata will show up if you view it as a preview of a different template, a draft, or with ?scheduled=true on the end of the link. Any idea what's happening?

I want to have a curated list of topics on the main menu. I can do this using tags (by putting the tagged url in the menu), but this doesn't allow me to have a custom introductory text for each tag. Say I want to put Coffee and Cities on my menu. I want to write something about coffee in general, followed by a list of all posts tagged coffee. Ditto, for Cities. The introductory text is different for the two topics, so I can't just put it in tagged.html Will be grateful for tips that'll help me achieve this. Thanks.

If I have tags that contain chars like å,ä,ö should they work, i.e. if I click on the tags should I see a list with posts? The reason I ask is that when I click on an "ascii tag", I get a list of posts with this tag. But if I click on a tag like "väder" then no entries are listed - not even the post with the tag I clicked on. Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

Hello Blotters It appears that the Markdown parser on blot.im is not parsing emoji delimiters, even though I believe they are supported by the Markdown syntax. Emoji delimiters are represented by colons and are used to insert emojis into a document. For example, :smile: should render a smiling emoji. I am wondering if you're using the correct emoji delimiter. Do I need to install a library in my HTML to fix this issue? I am not sure how to proceed and would appreciate some guidance in resolving this little challenge. Many thanks!

Is there an easy way to change the displayed date format to something else? I use the Essay template. I would like to have yyyy-MM-dd, as in 2021-06-20 for today's date.

I have seen your demo on uploading a separate HTML file, but how can I embed a snippet inside a md file?
