Questions

At the moment a citation of the form [@reference] renders as Author (YYYY) but i would prefer to have it as (Author YYYY). Is there a way to do this?

How difficult would it be to have this feature? When I enter [@citation] in my post, the resultant text is a link within the page that sends you down to the bibliography.

How do I get markdown to display an image caption?

I have searched the documentation and the questions here, but I have not found an answer to the question. If I have a post, and I want to display an excerpt (teaser) for it on the list of posts (using the Diary template), how do I accomplish this without having to duplicate post content in the metadata section? I have tried a variety of combinations of the {{{teaser}}} and {{more}} special tags in my post content but nothing seems to work. I simply want to know how I can flag the first paragraph of the post as a teaser. Thanks for any help you can provide.

In CodePen the HTML snippet draws the widget with correct information, but when I paste the code to my Markdown page nothing renders. I can see the code is written on the page via Developer Mode, but it's getting a 400. The widget is from Literal.club and it has the following code: <div id="literal-widget" handle="<MY_HANDLE>" status="IS_READING" layout="list"></div> <script src="https://literal.club/js/widget.js"></script> I've used Substack iframes and they work fine.

Why, when I search for a word does it return random posts that don't contain that word? e.g.https://blog.tyro.me/search?q=deadhttps://blog.tyro.me/search?q=bubba

It appears you can set the title of an image like so. I'm wondering if there could be an option to allow using the title instead of alt text for the image caption. Could be a nice convenience over putting in HTML for a caption. Or is there already a good way to set a separate caption that I'm missing?

The Bigfoot footnotes in Magazine template are great. littlefoot might be easier to inject into my template but I need guidance. I can't try my tests because Blot is no longer synching since I switched to Google Drive. kitz

I have not configured a static landing page and would prefer not to do so, but I've put a short intro paragraph greeting visitors to my site above my list of entries. Is it possible to have that paragraph only appear on the first page, not on the subsequent pages containing older entries? I know I could set up a static landing page alternatively, but then there's limitations to showing the list of entries on the same page right?

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?)

I'm trying to create multiple grid for each tag instead of a single grid but when I try filtering with a tag it doesn't render images. Here's where my entries.html files is at: {{> header}} <div class="entries"> {{#allEntries}} {{#tagged.nuvu projects}} {{#thumbnail.large.url}} <a class="post photo" href="{{{url}}}" style=" max-width:{{thumbnail.large.width}}; max-height:{{thumbnail.large.height}}; width:calc({{thumbnail.large.width}}px*{{thumbnail_size}}/{{thumbnail.large.height}}); flex-grow:calc({{thumbnail.large.width}}*{{thumbnail_size}}/{{thumbnail.large.height}})"> <i style="padding-bottom:{{thumbnail.large.ratio}}"></i> <img src="{{{thumbnail.large.url}}}" class="pre-loaded" onload="this.className+=' loaded';" /> <noscript> <img src="{{{thumbnail.large.url}}}"> </noscript> </a> {{/thumbnail.large.url}} {{/tagged.nuvu projects}} {{/allEntries}} </div> {{> footer}}

I've seen with other blogging engines that you can append ".md" or ".txt." to the end of a URL to see the raw text for that given post. Is that possible with Blot posts? Example: https://www.caseyliss.com/2022/9/8/verizon-esim-conversion and https://www.caseyliss.com/2022/9/8/verizon-esim-conversion.md

Is it intentional that when a date is included in a title (without any other date metadata) that the post adopts that as the publish date? I noticed that when I put today's date in my h1 heading such as # Author Test Post 2022-10-11 it shows as published at 12:00am of that date. As opposed to # Another Test Post getting published at the correct date and time when it was synced to the dropbox folder. You can see an example here from my RSS client. If that is the intended behavior, is there a way to change it? I put dates in my titles sometimes, but would prefer for them to publish normally and not have to worry about them getting out of order on my site.

I am using the [^Footnote] markdown notation, but it becomes literal text rather than a footnote.

Here's a weird one. I use the link (🔗) emoji in the title of my linked blog posts. But that has caused the first letter in the title of this post to be lowercase instead of uppercase. (It also has the permalink problem noted here.)

I've set font weight: 600 (and a few other style changes) for the blog's title in header.html, and it looks great on desktop. But when I view on mobile (iOS Safari), the font weight is missing. The title doesn't look as bold as I like. Please let me know how to fix this.. thank you.

I am trying to embed an image and I have tried linking to the image in the folder on google drive which I have named "_sociallinks" but cannot work out the correct path to link to the image. I just get a question mark icon on the page. Any idea what path I should use?

Getting an error when I try to switch from Dropbox to Google Drive. ":( Error"

I have an image saved as _image_name.png in the same folder as the post. I am using the following syntax but my blog doesn't render an image:  How can I fix this? Also, I noticed that there aren't any names for whoever responds to posts. You may want to put one just for yourself.
