Questions

I know there's a question about time formats in the list below, I had something similar about date formats. When I've forked both Magazine and Blog templates there's a pull-down option to change the date format to Day/Month/Year, but the dates as shown on screen for each individual post always remain Month/Day/Year.

Is it possible to embed a Soundcloud song into a blog post?

Would it be possible to use your next / previous templating on posts to only show the next or previous post for a specific tag?

When sharing links to my website on social media, how can I get thumbnails to show up?

I was wondering what is the easiest way to embed Buy Me a Coffee into a website on Blot?

In the developer docs it says Check if there is a template whose route matches the request’s path. Render the template if it matches. Check if there is a file which matches the request’s path in your blog’s folder. Send the file as a response if it matches. First I didn't really understand this (me being locked into another model of thinking) but if I've understood things correctly it means that when I link to a page, for example 'archive', it will use the archive template file to see what needs to be done. Questions: What are the "standard" templates that blot expects to see? archives, entries, entry, error, feed, search, tagged?? If a template use partials then it becomes possible to call that partial and it will be rendered. At least this is what I see when I call "head.html" and "header.html" (using the Blog template). Have I understood things correctly?

Although the logo is centered when i click "preview", when the website is fully published it is still stuck on the left corner. Live Website What I see on preview

I have tags showing on my archive page and also my main page. I'm experimenting with using tags to help me build a custom RSS feed. I would like to exclude these tags from the Popular Tags list and even from the post itself. Ideally, these tags would be internal for me to use but not visible to the user. Is this possible?

I've been getting emails from Google Analytics about needing to update to the new Google Analytics tags and setting up Google Analytics 4. I'm unclear if Blot supports either of these things

I'm trying to remove the feature images from both the recent list and tagged pages when using the magazine theme but can't seem to figure this one out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

When I'm on a post, it would be nice to see other posts matching the current posts tag(s). I played with this a little in my custom theme, but couldn't figure out how to filter the entries by the matching tag(s).

I have purchased some font files (.ttf, .woff) which I would like to use on my blog. How do I change the font?

I’m attempting to set up my Blot blog with my domain but my DNS provider doesn’t allow for ALIAS records to be set. I ended up just setting up an A record that points to Blot’s direct IP address. Would you anticipate this ever causing any issues?

Just wondering if there is any way to use metadata tags in markdown links? At the moment this markdown: ` Becomes, this HTML: <img src="/%7B%7Burl%7D%7D_images/picture.jpg" alt="caption"> The brackets just get encoded. Can this be avoided? Or should I just use HTML to start with?

Looking for a way to show the nested tags structure in the nav bar. For example Folder structure being: [Tag A] [Tag B] [Tag C] [Tag D] I would want to have the same indentation and hierarchy in the nav bar, and ideally being apple to collapse and uncollapse them would be great. Is there a way to do this with the current templates?

Hey, I believe I've seen some folks talking about using Obsidian and GitHub to power their Blot posts. However, I can't find the ability to search through questions in the new blot web interface. I feel like I'm just missing something. I am already using git for sync. When I added a GitHub repo as a remote, all of the content transferred to my repo, but now none of my new posts that I push get to my initial Blot git repo and the posts don't show up. If anyone has thoughts on setting up GitHub with Micro.blog, or a way to search the content of the questions, that would be much appreciated.

I joined Blot tonight and I'm trying to make things work, but it seems you can't nest folders? So if I have: pages/dogs/index.md pages/dogs/labrador.md pages/dogs/corgi.md pages/dogs/hound.md Then at the top, my menu now contains: Dogs, Labrador, Corgi, Hound. I just want the menu to contain Dogs, and then go to dogs/index.md, and then I'll link to the other pages separately. But it seems that nesting does nothing, that every single page you create will show up in the menu bar automatically?

Hi. I’d like to set up a second blog I think. I use 2tb on Dropbox do plenty of room. Can the second blog have its own custom domain? What is best way to set up folders? I have the blot folder with three folders on inside. Is there a basic convention or howto for this? Thanks!

Is there a way to link a pdf file located in the same folder of parent note? Because at the moment I can link only pdf in the root 'Files' folder

When directly posting an image to Blot using the YEAR-MONTH-DAY File Name format, the time is always set to 12:00am. I wish to upload several images over several posts but in a particular order. Is there a method of naming an image file to specify a time (Say, 12:01, 12:02, etc) in order to achieve this?
