/* Custom scrollbar */

}
 
#block[data-block="blogs"]::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
  background: #333;
  border-radius: 2px;
}

Blog Card Hover Effects

Add subtle animations to blog cards:


#blog-card {
  position: relative;
  overflow: hidden;
}
 
#blog-card::before {
  content: '';
  position: absolute;
  left: -100%;
  top: 0;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  background: linear-gradient(90deg, transparent, rgba(34, 197, 94, 0.05), transparent);
  transition: left 0.5s ease;
}
 
#blog-card:hover::before {
  left: 100%;
}

  color: #22c55e;
  font-weight: 500;
}
 
/* Style for recent posts (this week) */
#blog-creation-time[title*="day"] {
