Fork unsupported templates?

I am just getting started with Blot and would like to fork an unsupported template. I've previously tinkered around with that but recently with the changes to the blot site, I'm finding myself unable to access the "Fork" button on that Unsupported Templates page. The only button available to me is the "Preview" button. Is anyone experiencing the same? Does anyone know of a workaround? I would like to preview and fork specifically the Essay Old and Essay Two templates.

Metadata on Google Docs

I was trying to add the date and tags metadata info on to the Google Doc. The metadata shows up as text on the actual post. Does Google Doc based publishing support metadata?

Slug changed after being published?

I have two posts with slugs. After being published, their URLs have "-2" added right after the slug. I have checked the slugs of each post and confirmed that they are not identical. This leads me to believe that there might be another reason for the addition of "-2" in the URLs. Here is one of the post has a slug "bionic" but it's URL is displayed as being "bionic-2": https://kuoyihs.in/bionic-2.

Broken link to developer documentation?

Unable to add images and files via Git

Whenever I try to add files to the "Files" folder I get the following error (I'm using GitHub Desktop): "The remote disconnected. Check your Internet connection and try again." It handles all new text files just fine, but if I try to add a png, jpg, or zip it gets rejected and I get an error. How can I get blog.im to host my images? UPDATE: I'm also getting a "500 Internal Server Error" when I try to upload a small jpg via the dashboard here - https://blot.im/dashboard/USERNAME/photo

Issue with position of headers on the Blog template

When using the Blog tempate and viewing a single entry, the <h5> elements for Tags, Date, Next, and Previously all appear on top of each other in the top left of the page. Looking through the CSS, it appears that .label-left h5 is set to position:absolute, which explains the behavior. Adding position:relative to the CSS rules for .label-left ensures that the parent element of the <h5> is set to relative, which fixes the issue with their absolute positioning.

Error when I save my CSS on the template editor?

Change to the template system — blog reverted to old theme?

there seems to have taken place some change to the templating system? I've always edited my template in the web interface, but that isn't possible anymore apparently. Which is fine, but with this change, my blog reverted to an old version of my theme, before I'd made some crucial changes that, frankly, will be hard for me to reproduce. Is there any way for me to get the latest version of my theme back?

Org-Mode Headings show up as ordered lists?

I'm having trouble moving from markdown to org-mode (my favorite markup). In markdown # converts to an h1, ## converts to h2, ### converts to h3 and so on. In org-mode * converts to h1, ** converts to h2, however *** converts to an ordered list. I would prefer for there to be parity between markdown and org-mode so that all heading levels regardless of format would convert to their respective HTML heading tags.

Previously scheduled post still shows on the dashboard?

Below is a screenshot of my Dashboard Posts page showing a phantom post (the first one). The post was previously scheduled, but I moved it to drafts to work on it more. It was never published and it isn't in dropbox as you can see on the left of the below screenshot.
