/*
 * blog.css — CyoGate Blog Stylesheet
 * Place at: /public_html/blog/blog.css
 *
 * Nav strategy: style.css makes .navigation position:fixed.
 * We keep that intact (same as online_payments.html) and
 * push body content down with padding-top: 74px.
 *
 * Brand palette (from style.css):
 *   #9edb00  lime-green  — CTAs, badges, active borders
 *   #81b000  olive-green — hover states
 *   #3ab590  teal-green  — body text links
 *   #e2f2b9  pale tint   — callouts, hover backgrounds
 *   #c8e080  border tint — card/tag borders
 *   #00060c  near-black  — hero, footer backgrounds
