This is a test post for featured + cover

This post exists to verify that:

  • It appears pinned to the top of /blog/ above chronological posts
  • The card on /blog/ has a “Featured” label and distinct styling (accent border + gradient background)
  • The post page shows the cover image as a hero above the title
  • The og:image meta tag in the HTML <head> points to /images/blog/a1.png
  • Since it has no series, it shows tag badges (startups / ai) that link to their tag pages
  • Prev/next uses chronological order (not series order)

Two tags

The ai tag is new — it should appear as a filter button on /blog/ and generate /blog/tag/ai/.
