How to embed images using Markdown?

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: ![description](/_image_name.png) 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.

What is the best way to host video?

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?

Redirect not working?

I recently set up a redirect of a tagged page to a gallery page but it doesn't seem to be working: From: /tagged/photos to: /gallery Clicking the photos tag below the post still sends me to the tagged page rather than the photo gallery I set up. How can I tweak this further to make it work? Thanks!

Make navigation visible on mobile?

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.

Adding bigfoot.js to custom template

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.

Creating a website with a static landing page

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?

Making wide images

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!

How can I use markdown in custom metadata?

I'm trying to create a custom metadata field to credit image authors and I want to use Markdown to add links. However, the Markdown is not processed. The output is the contents of the field verbatim. Here's what I have (that doesn't work): Metadata image_credits: - '[Photo #1](https://www.example/1)' - '[Photo 21](https://www.example/2)' Template {{#metadata.image_credits.length}} {{#metadata.image_credits}} {{.}} {{/metadata.image_credits}} {{/metadata.image_credits.length}}

Thumbnails on social media?

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

Backlinks to include pages?

I know backlinks on pages do work when posts reference a page... But pages themselves aren't included in backlinks when they are linked to, whether from posts or other pages. Is there a way to enable it so pages are included in the backlink queries? I ask because I am putting my Zettelkasten into pages which is more suitable for that since I will be blogging on top of it. Thanks,. Ray

RSS defined by YAML front matter?

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.
