Hiding the title of my posts on Micro.blog?
I'd like my posts to have no title at all. On my blot page, there is no title but when imported into micro.blog, the first line appears as the title. Is there a way to remove the title altogether so it doesn't appear elsewhere?
If the post is appearing as you like on Blot, but not on Micro.blog, my suggestion is to get in touch with support at Micro.blog. My suspicion is that this is out of our control, and within Micro.blog's control. However, if there's anything we can do, please let me know
Answered 2 years ago · Edit answerThe easiest way to do this is to include some metadata for the title. This works for me:
Title: ""
Micro.blog then displays the post with no title.
Answered 2 years ago · Edit answerAnother way to do this is to copy the feed.rss file into say microfeed.rss, remove {{{title}}} references from the template, and give that RSS feed url to micro.blog to parse.
I do something similar but I don't want all posts not to have titles -- just selected posts so in my microfeed.rss I have it set to not show titles for posts tagged "micro" (or metadata setting would work too, i.e. metadata.micro).
The reason why I use microfeed.rss is so folks that subscribe via feed readers can still get full titles at the regular feed.rss url (not all feed readers handle posts without titles well).
