   blogs.css
   Page-specific stylesheet for blogs.php (the blog LISTING page) ONLY.
   The single-article page (blog-post.php) has its own separate
   blog-post.css — kept apart on purpose so editing one page's styles
   can never accidentally affect the other.

   SECTION 1 is copied verbatim from about.css (same as testimonials.css
   and careers.css do) so banner, quick-facts, FAQ accordion, sticky
   ad slot and stats row render identically across all pages.

   SECTION 2 reuses the filter tabs + CTA strip pattern.

   SECTION 3 is the blog post card grid.

   SECTION 4 is new: pagination controls under the grid.

   SECTION 5 is new: the newsletter / subscription section.

   SECTION 6 is new: the combined CTA + Newsletter row (side-by-side
   on laptop/desktop, stacked on mobile).

   SECTION 7 is new: skeleton / shimmer placeholders shown while the
   AJAX pagination / category filter (blogs.js) is loading a page.

   SECTION 8 is new: top-right toast notifications for the newsletter
   subscribe form (validation / success / error) and for the email-
   verification link result.

   SECTION 0 — layout safety net
   Guards against the "text looks scattered" symptom that shows up
   if this stylesheet ever loads without header.css / a global reset
   (e.g. during the SPA-nav asset-path bug that used to point at a
   non-existent blog.css/blog.js). Low-specificity, scoped to this
   page only, so it never fights the real global styles when they
   ARE present — it just stops things collapsing when they aren't.
