Blogger Mobile Blog Posts Gadget - mobile

I have started a blog for a local group that I volunteer with so that we can communicate with the public, post information about ourselves, and provide a means for the public to get in touch with us. (www.wildwindflutechoir.com)
At the request of the organizer for the group, I have modified the "Blog Posts Gadget" so that it only shows 1 post and have removed any widgets that displayed "popular posts" or "past posts". This way only the most recent information/article is displayed on the home page and the other pages in the site (like the about-us page) don't have old posts lingering around. The main goal was to no longer display information posted about our Christmas activities on our homepage (or elsewhere in the website) now that Christmas is done...unless, of course, you browse to it through the archive links.
This works fine on desktop browsers; however, when I am viewing the website with a mobile device (or by adding the /?m=1 parameter to the URL)...the home page lists all of the posts.
I cannot figure out how to have it simply display the 1 most recent post instead of this list...Nor can I figure out how to have it automatically display the full details of most recent post (instead of a preview)
Please provide some advise on how to modify the Home page of my Blogger blog so that it only displays 1 post in mobile view (and preferably the whole post instead of a preview of it)
Update
I applied the suggested solution to hard code the number of posts shown to 1. I also, in the case that it is the index page (home page), modified it so that the full post was displayed instead of the mobile index. I considered displaying both the link to the post along with the full details about the post because I discovered that you cannot navigate to older posts in the mobile version on the home page (you had to be viewing a post for it to detect that there is older content).
After customizing the navigation, and failing to get it to work like the desktop version, I decided to just live without it for the mobile for the time being. At least it is closer to what was requested: show only the most recent content. I will have to return to this navigation problem another day.
The following will show both the link to the most recent post along with the full content of the post:
<!-- posts -->
<div class='blog-posts hfeed'>
<b:include data='top' name='status-message'/>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "index"'>
<b:loop values='data:posts limit 1' var='post'>
<b:include data='post' name='mobile-index-post'/>
<b:include data='post' name='mobile-post'/>
</b:loop>
<b:else/>
<b:loop values='data:posts' var='post'>
<b:include data='post' name='mobile-post'/>
</b:loop>
</b:if>
</div>
But this is what I currently have so that only the full content is displayed for the most current post :
<!-- posts -->
<div class='blog-posts hfeed'>
<b:include data='top' name='status-message'/>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "index"'>
<b:loop values='data:posts limit 1' var='post'>
<b:include data='post' name='mobile-post'/>
</b:loop>
<b:else/>
<b:loop values='data:posts' var='post'>
<b:include data='post' name='mobile-post'/>
</b:loop>
</b:if>
</div>

This is a known bug in the mobile templates. If the post count is set to less than 5 posts, then the mobile homepage will always show minimum 5 posts irrespective of whether it is a custom mobile template or not. On all the further pages (accessible via Next post links), the count set via the settings will be respected
A partial solution to this problem is to switch to Custom mobile templates and then make the following changes to the template code -
<b:loop values='data:posts limit 1' var='post'>
<b:include data='post' name='mobile-index-post'/>
</b:loop>
Other than this, Lambda expressions can also be used -
<b:loop values='data:posts first(p => p)' var='post'>
<b:include data='post' name='mobile-index-post'/>
</b:loop>
This will visually resolve the issue of displaying only a single post but the next page link rather than redirecting to the 2nd post will redirect to the 6th post (the 2nd-5th post gets skipped)

What about using a responsive theme like Contempo

Matomo, aggregate stats for pages in all subfolders

I have an app with identical pages that can be reached by different "groups", so my urls are like :
/group1/page1/
/group1/page2/
/group2/page1/
/group2/page2/
Is there a way to view the stats for all pages no matter the groupe ?
ie. all stats for "page1" and "page2" ... ?
Thanks a lot !
If the page titles are the same, then you should be able to see the reports for the page titles under the Behaviour > Page titles report
Alternatively you can set the page title with the Javascript tracker using:
_paq.push(['setCustomTitle', '']
You can also use the instructions provided for Single-Page Application tracking in the Developer Docs to set a custom page URL
_paq.push(['setCustomUrl', '/url/here']);
You can find more information on setting custom page titles and URLs here: https://developer.matomo.org/guides/spa-tracking

Aria and Accessibility for the dynamic page title in Angular JS

Can any one guide me how to implement the accessibility on Single Page Application? My precise question is on announcing page title and new content.
HTML
<title data-ng-bind="TitleText" data-id="TitleAnnouncer" aria-live="assertive" aria-atomic="true"></title>
Though page title is getting changed dynamically, screen reader is not recognising the change. I have used both cases for the attribute aria-live="polite" and "assertive" which is of no use.
Following are the links which I referred,

How do I pass data with my MEAN app? From a page of products to a new page with details about the specific product that the user clicked on?

I am a newbie at the MEAN stack. I have a full app working and have searched extensively on how to solve the following problem but I'm realizing that I don't know how to "ask" the question to be sent to the proper resource.
I have a marketplace. In the dashboard, a user can enter details about their product (a boat) and it is sent to the DB. In my marketplace, I'm retrieving all of the boats from the DB and theyre styled and listed on the page.
I want a user to click on one of the tiles components that I have created with an ng-list (boat) and be sent to a new page with a fully-expanded view of that specific boat. (larger pictures, expanded details, etc.) basically all the details about the product that won't fit in the minimalistic tile component in the marketplace.
How do I pass data about that specific boat that the user clicks on and be sent to a new page? Is this an ng-directive? an API/route thing?
I just am unsure how to reference the specific boat from the list i'm retrieving and have the user sent to a new details page. Any direction or resources that will teach me to solve this problem?
In general, use ng-repeat to display a list of products and ng-click to handle clicks.
<a ng-repeat="product in productList" ng-click="goto($index)">
<h2> {{product.title}}</h2>
<img ng-src="{{product.picture}}">
<p>{{product.description}}</p>
</a>
JS
$scope.goto = function(index) {
$location(productList[index].location);
});
Use a router such as ngRoute or ui-route to intercept the new location and load the appropriate template and controller.

Placing inline adsense in between posts on blogger mobile's homepage

How i can achieve this below?
Placing adsense in between posts on blogger mobile homepage. This can easily be done for desktop homepage view but it seems very difficult to achieve for mobile homepage also.
I have seen a blog do this and i need someone to help out on how to also implement it.
See sample of a blog do this below.
sample 1
sample 2
Search your code for <b:include data='post' name='mobile-post'/> and paste this code below it
<b:if cond='data:blog.url == data:blog.homepageUrl'>
<b:if cond='data:post.includeAd'>
<div class='inline-ad'>
<data:adCode/>
</div>
</b:if>
</b:if>

How does Google+ contact process glass shared timeline items?

I am testing out the mirror api and so far I have a sample app running nicely.
The issue I am having is that I added a menu item for the action 'SHARE' but when I try to share the timeline card created by my app to Google+ it posts an empty Google+ post. The only text in the Google+ post is #throughglass. The contents of the timeline card is some simple html (see below) which renders find on glass. I also set the speakable text which works great with the 'READ_ALOUD' menu action. What gives on the 'SHARE' action, am I missing something?
Link to Google+ post
Timeline Item html:
<article class="auto-paginate">
<section>
<p class="text-auto-size">
Hello Word.
</p>
</section>
</article>
Each application is free to choose what, from the shared timeline item, it will use as part of the share command. The Google+ Glassware appears to use the text field only when sharing a textual item and ignores the html field.
(This makes some sense. Google+ can't display the HTML formatting, so it chooses to go with the text that it knows should be good.)
When you're writing Glassware, you should make sure both the text and html (and speakableText, for that matter) fields contain the correct representation of your item.
