Questions

I've got an jpg image stored in an Images folder and I'd like to reference it in a <img> tag in a post. Everything I've tried has led to a 404 on the image. If I put other (txt) files in that folder I can access them from the browser but my jpg file always shows up as not found.

I have separate dirs for Files, Pages & Posts. How can I use the Files dir to host things like images without them showing up as their own posts?

I'd also like to add all listings to "blog" item instead of the homepage.

I have a post with a tag, and I'd like to hide it from my blog.

The date appears at the top of posts. How do I keep intact the date next to post titles in the archive but hide it in posts? Thanks.

As long as my posts were in the root directory of my site along with the .bib file used, all was well. After moving them into /Posts, the Bibliography: metadata unchanged, the two do not seem to be assoicated anymore. It works well on the individual entry page, but no longer on the index page. Which I don't mind as much, but it's still strange. Additionally, do you have a documentation somewhere, which CSL are installed and which value to set with the metadata field to get, say, AMA style?

I'm experimenting with blogging a combination of traditional, long form blog posts, and shorter, micro.blog/twitter-like short posts that are just a couple of sentences. This works really well on Blot with the blog theme. However, I was wondering if it's possible to suppress the short form posts in the Archives using some template magic. The best distinction I can think of is that the short posts don't have an explicit title, they're just text. I assume I could do this with custom metadata, but am curious if there's another way. Thanks!

Thanks.

Hey, what would be the easiest way to condense the space between posts in the Blog template? When a post is short, the space between that and the next post looks large.

Hello, earlier in the year I noticed an issue with accessibility (according to Lighthouse), regarding ARIA roles and on how the markdown converter (pandoc) turns footnotes into HTML. Any update on this front? Is pandoc working on a fix? What are the alternatives? Thanks!

If I'm using custom metadata, is there a way to set a default in the template?

How do you personally handle Drafts, Images, Files, etc., in terms of workflow? I'm thinking of the following: /Drafts (initiate all writing here prior to sliding into /Posts or /Pages for publication) /Files (other than images) /Images (all images and graphics) /Pages /Posts /Templates Do you personally underscore Folders or individual files?

Hello. I have been trouble with the dropbox syncing feature. For the past week blot.im stopped syncing for up to half an hour. Right now the folder does not sync. I have tried troubleshooting the issue with dropbox but it did not help. Anything I should do or try? Thank you

I'm trying to format the height of my image. Is there a way to do this in the existing markdown file or do I have to translate my markdown to HTML in order for my "img" tag to work? Or is there some other way within Markdown to specify an image size? Or perhaps you would recommend adding an ID to the image and then modifying size via CSS?

I’m just getting started with my blog and wondered if you wouldn’t mind giving me some tips on how to make the most of blot? Here’s how I’m posting: write post in Markdown on Dillinger in my browser, export as ‘Markdown’ and then put in Dropbox. This is working fine but if I need to edit the post after I’ve seen the preview, I go back into Dillinger, make edits and export and save again. I just wondered if there’s a better way to do this? I’m very new to this sort of thing so tried to download ‘Atom’ which I thought was a Markdown app, but it doesn’t open on my computer.

I am excited to use the bibliography functionality, but I must be missing something about how it works. I made files out of the example Post and Bibliography from the example page. But the post that ends up on my blog page just looks like the raw text - it hasn't been parsed, i.e. it looks like: Blah blah [see @item1, pp. 33-35; also @item2, chap. 1]. Blah blah [@item1, pp. 33-35, 38-39 and passim]. Blah blah [@item1; @item2]. I put the Bibliography.bib file in the same folder as the text file containing the Post. What am I missing?

When I use more than one item of metadata, e.g. Date: and Link: the second item always appears in the published post. I've followed the guides by keeping the items at the start of the document with spacing. I use a new line for each.

Some time ago I believe it was planned to add OneDrive as a client along with Dropbox and Git. I see now that Google Drive is planned. Is OneDrive still being considered as a future client? Thank you.

Hi, my Lighthouse accessibility score mentions a problem with the Role and ARIA attributes of the Footnotes class, and I don't know where to begin solving this. Any idea on how to quickly correct this on my side?

Does Blot serve something like a page ID that would allow me to suppress the header on a particular page using .page-id-x #header {display: none;}? Specifically I'm hoping to display the header on all pages apart from the homepage at '/'.
