Blogger is a travel and lifestyle journal template with a full-height river cover, blue-to-lilac accents, distinct latest/travel/fashion sections, and a dark newsletter footer. Sixteen content pages include eight complete editorial stories, an about page, an editorial approach, a contact page, and a practical style guide.

Readers can search story text, filter by topic and month, move through paginated collections, follow related articles, and copy a story link. The homepage and article sidebars use manually controlled carousels, and the style guide includes a keyboard-accessible image gallery.

What’s new in 3.0

• Bootstrap 5.3.8, Swiper 14.3.0, PhotoSwipe 5.4.4, and native JavaScript, with no jQuery.
• A native 6000-pixel Budapest cover and responsive AVIF/JPEG photography with recovery if AVIF requests fail.
• Self-hosted Poppins fonts and per-page Lucide SVG icons.
• Accessible mobile navigation, visible keyboard focus, reduced-motion support, and no-JavaScript reading fallbacks.
• Clearly labelled contact and newsletter demonstrations with guarded PHP handlers; delivery requires configuration, and newsletter requests do not create subscriptions.
• Editable source CSS and JavaScript, documented builds, unique page metadata, and nine additional content pages.
• In a cold desktop comparison, local homepage resources dropped from 2.86 MB across 39 requests to 0.87 MB across 32 requests, with no external runtime hosts.
