Image in Margin on Magazine template?

I've seen several example sites where people put images in the margins next to their main body of text. Is this possible on the Magazine template? How would one go about adding a small thumbnail image next to a part of their markdown document? Example. Example; example

Accessibility and footnotes

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!

Thumbnails on index pages?

Is there a way to display the thumbnails on ~/page/1? I'm using a variation of of the Blog template, but I want my homepage to not be the list of blogposts, so instead I have a link to https://www.patternsthatabide.xyz/page/1 on the top bar. So it'd be cool if it displayed thumbnails there.

What is the best way to import wordpress comments?

I am about to import my old wordpress blog to blot. Most of my old posts have comments, sometimes a lot of comments. What is the best way to take those comments with me to Blot?

Can a Layout tag be applied to image posts via the template?

I'm using the Magazine template for a photoblog. For posts with multiple images, I create a Markdown file with image embeds and a float right {>>} tag on square or landscape images so they are displayed in a similar size as portrait images. However, when posting single images directly, I'm unable to add those tags since there's no Markdown. Is it possible to add the applicable .css class to square and landscape ratio image posts through the template directly? Two examples links from my site: multi image post vs single image post

Pages now showing up as Posts and in RSS feed?

I have a directory with in Pages with no tags set in the YAML for my newsletter. I've never had a newsletter show up in the RSS feed before, but today the latest one suddenly did. Are Pages supposed to show up in the RSS feed, or was this a bug? I can add a tag to prevent the behavior in the future, but wanted to know before adding something unnecessarily.

Using a bibliography?

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?

"/random" stick to the same link

I wonder why does the "/random" link stick to the same page from time to time? Is it just my site or anybody else got the same issue? I can't seem to understand the pattern because many times the page refreshes on each click but at times it gets stuck with one page.

Enabling search for pages?

Is there a way to enable search for certain pages? I am talking about "user-defined" pages, i. e. stuff in /Pages or with Page: yes, not something like the archives page. Posts work perfectly, but pages, no matter whether they are stored inside or outside of /Pages, do not work, even with the following metadata: Search: yes Is this supposed to work somehow? Considering quite a few people use Blot for / as their "digital garden" / notes / information store, being able to search these pages would be very helpful.

Trying to upload a Wordpress export

I'm trying to upload an Export of a WordPress site, but I get an error that the "413 Request Entity Too Large". The file is 8.3 megabytes, which doesn't seem all that large. What is the max upload size?

Unable to set a landing page?

I think I followed the instructions properly, but I'm unable to set a landing page. I have a page where the first line is the following, followed by a blank line. Link: / But instead of setting that as the home page, it's creating a separate page called "Link: /"

Date format not changing?

I am using the Magazine template and am unable to change the date format when editing the template. All other editing functions work fine, including relative date. But when I change the date format, the changes are not shown in the preview or on the actual site. Once I refresh the editor, the editor shows the default date format again, discarding my changes.

Make an image into a link with Markdown?

Has anyone managed to place a link around an image via markdown? Normally, according to markdown rules, this would look something like this: ![Collection of my cat pictures](/path/to/catfolder/cat1.png)(/tagged/cats) But for some reason, in my case, the URL part is not recognized but somehow becomes a text which then sits underneath the image.

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.

Adding an attribute to title on Archives page based on a tag?

On my main entries page, if a post is a link post I've updated the CSS to show a unicode arrow symbol after the title so people will know the title will take them to another location. I'm trying to achieve the same behavior on the archives page. This could be driven based on a tag value of 'linkpost'. Is this possible? Example of how it looks on main page (would like the same symbol to appear after the post title on archives based on a tag value being present):

Centering navigation on Blog template on mobile only?

I'm using a forked version of the Blog template for Tangible Life. I like the desktop layout with left and right justified elements, but they look odd on mobile size classes. How can I achieve a centered blog title, then Pages and Search/RSS icons centered below that on mobile only?
