Getting an error when I try to switch from Dropbox to Google Drive. ":( Error"

I have an image saved as _image_name.png in the same folder as the post. I am using the following syntax but my blog doesn't render an image:  How can I fix this? Also, I noticed that there aren't any names for whoever responds to posts. You may want to put one just for yourself.

Image files render directly in blot, but not so videos (eg. mp4). It the ideal solution to host videos on a 3rd party site and then embed them?

I've just switched to the Blog theme and like it quite a bit. Just one problem: The navigation bar isn't completely visible on mobile & my title (which, to be fair, is too long) partially hides the content. See here. Is there any quick CSS tweak to achieve something similar to how my old theme worked, putting the title on top & the navigation links in several rows below as needed? See here to see what I mean.

I am using a custom template and would like to add the bigfoot.js plug in. I saw that the magazine template includes it but cannot figure out how to install it from scratch.

I'm in the process of redesigning my website. The idea is to create a static portfolio as a landing page, which has a link to take the user to the blog. When I try to change the entries.html URL in the package.json file to point to another URL (E.G: /articles) the page does not load any entries. I tried to use the ?debug=true option and discovered that entries don't get added in the returned json object. I could use the all_entries tag, but then I will lose the pagination. Another thing I tried is to create a new view and calling entries from there, but that didn't work either. Any thoughts?

Just curious as to how you insert an image (stand alone or in a. blog post) that renders as a wide image as in the example in the video? Can this be done in markdown or html so the image extends beyond the edge of the text column ? Thanks in advance!

I'm having some trouble linking my blot.im site with my custom domain. Usually www.example.com works, but if I omit the www. it goes to 'Server Not Found'. Do you know what may cause that issue and how to fix it? Thank you!

I've just created my blog with Blot and when I search for my name, my URL or some content on my site, Google simply doesn't find anything. Can you help me in anyway?

Has anyone gotten the CSS correct to float and image left or right using the magazine template? I have made a few attempts but either I break something else or not displayed correct. Basically want to wrap text around an image on a post

Within a post, I want to embed/add a Youtube video in such a way that it can be played right in the post, without going to Youtube. Please let me know how to achieve this. Thank you! I'm using a forked Blog template.

How can I include a copyright notice on the footer of my blog?

I would like an image used in my blog post to appear when I share the post on Twitter, or Facebook.

I have been trying various ways to have an rss feed defined by a YAML category holding the information about the language in which the post is written. Is there a way to achieve this? I got it to work with tags but would prefer that category not to show as a tag. Any pointers will be much appreciated.

https://blot.im/sites/mysitename/template/magazine/links Won't let me add a new link. Not sure if I need to add the link through my pages folder instead, just trying to add a link to my main site. Thanks!

I'm struggling to do something with a template that I thought would be easy but is turning out to be harder than I thought. Specifically, I'm trying to create pages (not posts) for projects that I've worked on in the past. I don't want these to be in the site's main menu, so I'm hiding them with Menu: no, as instructed. However, in doing this I seem to completely lose the ability to surface the page elsewhere. As far as I can tell pages themselves can't be embedded into other pages, and I'm unable to get an index to this now hidden page at all. I also tried instead making all the projects their own posts but in a hidden folder, but ran into the same issue. Them being hidden fully excludes them for being accessed in any list. Additionally, I was surprised to find that #all_entries doesn't return any pages, even if the page is visible. The IsPage key in the object made me think this wouldn't be the case, but alas. What would be nice is if there was a way to just get a list of pages for the site. I think you could implicitly exclude pages in that list that state Menu: no, but could also provide an override like InPageList that would allow pages to be hidden from the global menu but able to be indexed elsewhere.

How would I use an image in an org-mode file. Traditionally, I'd do something like [[file:clock.png][clock]] but it seems like that's not working.

I'd like to change the size of an image in one of my posts. Can I use the following syntax from Jekyll? {width="250"}

How can I create a page that just lists the tags that are being used? Is it possible for it to be auto-updated as well? For reference I'm using a forked version of Essay 2.

Analytics tracking doesn't seem to work? I tried selecting Heap and entering the ID and full script but neither work?
