Questions

I see that it is possible in this example site but I can't figure out how to do it. Do I just have to delete some part of the HTML?

I'm new to Blot, tried searching through Questions but didn't see anything that answered this question exactly. Is there a way to hide tags from showing on the left side of the Magazine theme?

Hi there! The thumbnail generated for each of my posts was working until about March, such as this post, and then stopped working. Newer posts don't seem to be generating a thumbnail, and when I try to manually add the Thumbnail: to the metadata at the beginning of posts, neither URLs nor paths to files work. I'm using the Magazine template, but I tried other templates and similarly they don't show any thumbnails for newer posts. Is there still a way to re-generate thumbnails for posts? I found a previous question about this, but the link doesn't work anymore. This isn't a big issue, but the homepage looks much more engaging with images! Thank you. :)

I recently learned about Djot which is derived heavily from CommonMark but has more features and is generally like a stricter Markdown. It's by John MacFarlane who is also behind Pandoc so the conversion is well-supported would look something like this: djot -t pandoc mydoc.dj | pandoc -f json -s -t gfm -o mydoc.md I'm incredibly interested in trying this out for authoring my blog content.

I am using the Reference template and saving Bear Notes files as Markdown. When I do this, it works properly, except on the site's front page, where the thumbnail would be, it's just text rendered in a box. When I click on it, it loads the proper page and shows me all the text and images properly formatted. But is there a way to have the image appear on the front page? When I export the exact same file from Bear Notes as DocX, the thumbnail DOES appear, but then the text margins are as wide as the browser, rather than the width of the image. So, I guess I'm asking if there's a way to make the thumbnail appear on a MD file or, if not, limit the margins of the DOCX file to the same width as the image? You can see samples here: https://jazznotjazz.blot.im/ The thumbnail one is DOCX and the blank square is MD. Clicking thru they display different. Would like the thumbnail-ness of the docx with the layout of the MD. In case I add more posts while trying to figure it out, this question is referring to the two posts at the bottom of the front page. One is labeled docx - hank mobley... and the other is beside it. Thank you!

Been trying to publish a new post and image for about a day. Git is failing with a gateway timeout: % git push Enumerating objects: 9, done. Counting objects: 100% (9/9), done. Delta compression using up to 8 threads Compressing objects: 100% (6/6), done. error: RPC failed; HTTP 504 curl 22 The requested URL returned error: 504 send-pack: unexpected disconnect while reading sideband packet Writing objects: 100% (6/6), 1.22 MiB | 20.00 KiB/s, done.

I've deleted the archive option from the link's list and the button to add link it's not working to put it back.

It's pretty annoying to have a redirect notice for every link I mention in a post, is there a way to link while circumventing the notice? edit: I think I solved my own problem by removing https:// from each link.

One of my sites has become completely inaccessible for managing via Blot's interface and shows 'Nothing published yet.' when visiting the site in a browser. What's going on?

Does Blot support multi-line values for YAML frontmatter? no matter what format I try, whenever I call it via a template, it seems to break the page layout, even if the YAML is valid. Conversely, if i switch to Blot style metadata, everything works as expected. To illustrate, this Blot style metadata works fine: longtext: this is a multi line but this YAML Frontmatter does not: --- longtext: |- here is a multi line --- the YAML metadata is rendered as: here is a multi line –> and the raw HTML is: <p>here</p> is a multi line –&gt; i also can't seem to figure out what is causing the –> to be rendered. so it seems like the newline characters are being rendered, but not wrapped in <p> tags (as i would expect, and how the Blot style metadata seems to handle it.

I'm creating a custom archives.html of sorts. When using {{date}}, is there any way to get it to display as relative? I'd only like to do so on this one specific page.

Has anyone integrated a Shopify store into Blot?

If I put an e.g. &nbsp; literal string inside a code fence: myString.replace(" ", "") That renders literally as a space, so I need to manually encode the ampersand &amp;nbsp;: myString.replace("&nbsp;", "") Then Blot actually renders encoded characters vs a literal non-breaking space. Perhaps it's an issue of properly handling ampersands?

Has anyone found a way to sync the git connector with a github repo?

I'm thinking of switching from Commento to Komments to save money. For now that would mean having to create a Komments URL for each post by hand. Is there a chance you might integrate it as an additional options for comments, so that every new post would automatically create a corresponding Komments URL? Apparently that should be possible via the API.

I wrote a couple styles inside a prefers-color-scheme: dark media query. My selectors have the same specificity, but are placed below the styles for the regular light mode. Somehow this ends up in a different source order on the web, making my intended dark mode styles not taking precedence. Is it possible that some server-side minification mixes up the source order of my selectors?

Hi there, I'm trying to take my site offline for a bit so I can work on it. I used to be able to just disable the template but when I click that it says that the template is disabled but the website is still active. Thanks for your help!
