**Questions**

- [What new methods of syncing a folder would you like?](https://blot.im/questions/1387)
- [How to password-protect a site](https://blot.im/questions/1)
- [Email subscriptions?](https://blot.im/questions/1353)
- [Is it possible to get the length of the post?](https://blot.im/questions/1502)
- [Self verification for Mastodon?](https://blot.im/questions/1201)
- [Multi-file post syntax](https://blot.im/questions/1251)
- [Moving and styling citations](https://blot.im/questions/298)


**Mistakes**

Blot's uptime has been good, again. Talk about the issue I had with my development environment. I know recieve the same webhooks that I use in production.

**Plans for this season**

If you have any thoughts or questions about any of this, please don’t hesitate to reply directly to this email.
