Create a section on a page showing entries with a specific tag

Forgive me if this has been answered elsewhere, but I couldn't find it when perusing existing questions. I'd like to set up some pages as homes for my various projects, many of which have their own tags for related blog posts. I know that you can create a new .html file with the syntax on https://blot.im/templates/developers/examples/all-posts-with-a-tag, but I was hoping to do it with a regular page made with a .md file. It'd be much easier to update the rest of the content that way. Is that possible?

Remove "Links to this post"?

At the bottom of the default template, on some pages there is a "Links to this post" block. How does one remove this?

Can I reset my template?

If I fork a template and I mess it up, can I easily switch back to the default template?

Solution to Light / Dark Mode for the Blog Template

Is there an existing solution to adding a toggle switch or using device settings for light / dark mode? I'm using the Blog template. Thank you.

Modal Window for video and audio?

Is there a baked in modal window I can access for video and audio presentation? Kinda like how images are presented.

Is there a size limit for Blot's git repos?

Just wondering if there's a maximum total size or a maximum filesize. Now that Blot supports wikilinking I'm thinking about making my site quite a bit bigger...

Different themes for different devices.

Is it possible to use portfolio theme on web and magazine theme for mobile in parallel? If so, how?

{{#unless page}} not working?

Hi, I am trying to render some elements in an entry.html template only if it is a post but not a page. To do so, I have: {{#unless page}} <div id="TOC"> {{> toc}} </div> {{/unless}} so that I can only load a table of contents on appropriate pages. However, this seems to not work. On all views, whether page or post, this seems to still load the toc. What is happening? What might I be doing wrong?

Recover links to blog and archive pages?

When creating my blog, I deleted the links on the links page to the Archive page and Blog page. Is it possible to re-create them? When I simply add those same links again, they don't reappear.

Expired certificate for previews

Not so much a question as an observation. It looks like the certificate for the preview domain has expired, so blog previews are not working.

Self-hosted version of Blot?

As a huge Blot fan I truly cannot consider any alternative for any reason. But when it comes to managing your own server, I was wondering if there'll be a version of Blot that can be self-hosted one day?

No such remote 'origin'

I have initialized an empty repository with a first commit and a few files, but when following the instructions for adding an existing repository here, I get error: No such remote 'origin' Have I missed a step?

Hiding the date when creating a new home page with the Magazine theme

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?

Hide tags

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?
