@jmreekes I set up a site on Blot too, just to try it out. It's a good concept. The only thing I find it hard is to compose and post from iDevices on the go, without having to go through a few steps. It seems to work on mac though so well. Anyway, cannot complain much about the program when you look at how inexpensive it is. BTW, RSS link to your post doesn't seem to be working.

@sumudu I noticed the issue with the RSS feed. I had tried to customize the link, but apparently it didn’t work. This link should work. I’ve been using iA Writer to access Blot’s folder and create/edit files, it supports edit in place which means changes sync automatically

@jmreekes Oh, have you connected iA writer to Dropbox and set up sync ?@

@sumudu iA Writer 5 on iOS supports the iOS 11 Files interface, so I access the file using that, and it syncs as soon as I’m done working with the file. They also added a backup for Dropbox, Google Drive, and other files that you edit in iA Writer recently.

@sumudu I also setup a drafts folder. My folder structure is the same as my friend Thomas Hall’s

@sumudu For new posts using iA Writer I can start the file in it’s iCloud folder or create a new file directly in Blot’s folder via the Files screen in iA Writer

@jmreekes Yep, just tried the 2nd option you've mentioned and it worked. Will try out the 1st option as well. Thanks for sharing. How easy is it too set up a custom domain on BLOT, you know?
