How to make images appear larger on the entry page in Portfolio template?
I'd like my images to appear larger on the screen when one clicks on them from the grid. I'm using the portfolio template, and couldn't achieve the result by playing with any of the template edit sliders. The images themselves are quite large (2000x long edge) and opening them in a new tab shows them much larger than they are on the entry page. I also tried uploading full-resolution 6000x4000 images and their size did not change. Thanks
Featured Sticky Posts are paginated?
I love the ability to feature posts and make them sticky through custom metadata which I've added to my template e.g. Sticky: yes Rest of post here... However, one issue I've found is that pagination unsticks the posts. As soon as they have gone off of the front page, they are no longer sticky. Is there any way to change this? Thanks!
Adding a footer to the magazine template?

How to add a new font?

Adjusting navigation on Portfolio template?
I'm not sure if either are possible, but here goes: When I click into a tagged set of pictures, could it just go straight to the full size of the first one? And then, when you're viewing a tagged set, can it not have navigation back to any images not using that tag? What I'm trying to do, as I remember indexhibit working, is to use tags to create static finished sets of pictures, and then anything not tagged goes under Posts as the main feed. But I don't want picture navigation between the two, especially as there is no title showing what tag you're viewing.
Hide a post from the front page but show it in the archives?
I'm using the blog template. I have certain posts (RPG session summaries!) that I don't want showing on the front page, but I don't mind showing up in the archives list. Right now, these posts have the metadata: Page: yes Menu: no …as I saw mentioned in this question. However, when I do this, the posts are not listed on the archives page, and when viewing them from a tag page, no dates are shown. Essentially, I think what I'd want is a way to publish a post normally, but simply not have it show on the front page. Is this possible?
How would I include the page summary in the post body?
So I always create a summary for every post, this is within the front matter of each post and is used for the description with the HTML meta. I also use this summary as a line of intro text for every post. At the moment, I copy/paste the summary into the body of the post, but it would be nice if this was rendered automatically at build. I've tried including {{{summary}}} in the body, but it doesn't render. How would I get the summary to render in my posts?
How do I work with external contractors?
I'd like an external contractor to update the templates and CSS of my site to provide a new design that is beyond my capabilities to implement. How do I work with them? My ideal would be to have a locally hosted version of my site that I could collaborate with the contractor via github and PRs. Is that an option? Or something like it? I don't want to just give them the password to my Blot account and let them go to town.
Is there a way to use frontend JS frameworks?
I've already tried implementing javascript into my blog posts which works perfectly, but I'm curious if there's a way to also use frameworks so that we don't need to write vanilla JS all the time. Specifically I'm thinking of things like React, Svelte, or MDX. My use case is that sometimes I like having interactive components within my blog posts that may take an input from earlier up in the post and cascade the changes throughout the other components in the post.
