These changes will make the highlight image have a maximum width of 200px and float to the left of the excerpt or content in the blog post entries. The CSS changes also include adjustments to ensure proper alignment and spacing.
# Aider chat conversation:
USER: improve the styling of the blog index page
ASSISTANT: To improve the styling of the blog index page, I will make the following changes:
1. Add a new font family for better readability.
2. Increase the spacing between posts for a cleaner look.
3. Add a subtle box-shadow to each post for a card-like effect.
4. Adjust the padding and margins for better spacing and alignment.
5. Enhance the color and style of the post-date to make it stand out more.
Here are the diffs for those changes:
```diff

```
Please note that the exact values for margins, padding, and other styles may need to be adjusted based on the overall design and layout of your site. The changes above are a starting point for improving the styling of the blog index page.
