Can I create multiple pages, have a blog at parts and use other templates in other areas? thanks!

Is there a different template for pages? I'm seeing a partial double-footer on Pages, but not on Entries/Blogs posts.

In the screenshot, the horizontal rules and the Kofi image are part of footer.html. On post pages only, the hr / and Kofi logo show up twice, but not the rest of the footer.

I've noticed that the date format I've set in 'Analytics, comments, typography > Date and time' is not being respected. I have it set to 'Day-Month-Year', but posts on my site are still presented with the date in 'Month Day, Year'. Can anyone give me an idea what I should be looking for in the source code that defines the date format?

(I realise this will be somewhat template-dependent, and I've modified mine so much over the years that I honestly forget which it was originally forked from, Rosa maybe?)

Anyone care to share the URLs to their Blot blogs here? I know David has a few listed in examples on the front page, but I'm sure there's many more.

Would love to see others to follow (and gain inspiration!)…

Here's mine:

Hello – where can I play with templates and are there 3rd party templates that are free or pay?

I'm using the default magazine template, and am wondering how it choses which tags to show in the left-hand menu. It seems like it's limited to 5 – is it the first 5 that are used in posts, or the top 5 most frequently used? I'm wondering how to change them. Thanks! :)

Is there any way to not have the last row of images be larger than the rest? Happy to change code if you can point me in the right direction. You can see it in the example preview of the Portfolio template: https://preview-of-portfolio-on-bjorn.blot.im/

How does the magazine template determine when/which image to show in an entry's listing? Many of my posts have images, but only some appear to the right of the listing on the main page, and I can't figure out what factor determines when an image is pulled there.

I'm currently quite happy with the structure of my entries.html. Except for one thing. I would like the “intro” of that page to be easily editable. Right now, it's hard-coded in html, and I was wondering if I could insert a markdown file instead.

I've tried to add {{> intro.md}} in the entries.html file. But it does not render the markdown, it treats is as a plain text.

I know there's a question about time formats in the list below, I had something similar about date formats. When I've forked both Magazine and Blog templates there's a pull-down option to change the date format to Day/Month/Year, but the dates as shown on screen for each individual post always remain Month/Day/Year.

Is there any way to ensure that the mobile phone experience is similar to desktops, tablets. I find the margins are completely cut off on mobile so it all looks very tight and ugly.

I know that {{recent_entries}} shows 30 posts but how can i have my home page only show the 10 most recent posts?

For some of my entries I want to have a title, for some of them I would prefer not to have one. I modified the Blog template with

{{#title}} <h1>{{title}}</h1>{{/title}}

and I thought that would solve my problem. I.e. if the post didn't have a title then there would be no title shown, but Blot uses the file name as a title if there is not title in the frontmatter. I tried having an empty title, i.e.

title:

but then the title became “null”. Is it possible to have some entries to have no title?

I'm trying to remove the feature images from both the recent list and tagged pages when using the magazine theme but can't seem to figure this one out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I love the hover preview used in the bigfoot footnotes within the magazine theme. Just wondering if there was a way to do similar when hovering over wikilinks (similar to that of wikipedia or obsidian)?

I'm using a text file as my landing page. I'd like to have that page appear without reference to when it was published.

At the moment, information about when the page was published appears in the upper right hand corner of the page. Can I turn that off?

I really like the look of tufte-css, available at github, but feel a bit intimidated about implementing it using Blot and the available templates. Does anyone have suggestions?

(A dream would be if it became an available template out of the box…)

This might be quite basic but I can’t work it out. Please can you advise me how I can show the full entry of blog posts on the home page using the Magazine template, instead of the summaries? Ideally the pagination would still work the same using the 'posts per page' setting – I just want to display the full entries for the posts.

I know I could use the blog template for this but I prefer the layout of the Magazine template apart from this one thing.

The second half of my photos on the photos template site doesn't load on the mobile version. Any suggestions for how to fix this?

I remember at some point we can customize our fonts and such things. Are these features not available anymore?

Thank you for your support
