+## Blog Implementation Details
+
+### Blog Previews
+On the main `/blog` page, each blog post is displayed with:
+- Title and date
+- Preview of the content (first 200 characters)
+- "Read Full Post" button to view the complete article
+
+### Individual Blog Pages
+Each blog post has its own URL:
+- `/blog/0` - First blog post
+- `/blog/1` - Second blog post
+- And so on...
+
+When visiting these URLs, users see the complete blog post content.
+
 ## Building and Running
 
-### Prerequisites
+To build and run the project:
-- C++ compiler with WebAssembly support
-- Caddy server for serving files
 
-### Quick Start
-
-1. Make the scripts executable:
-```bash
-chmod +x run.sh build.sh
-```
-
-2. Run the development server:
 ```bash
 ./run.sh
 ```
 
-The website will be available at `http://localhost:8085`
+This will compile the project and serve it locally.
 
-### Building Manually
+## Contributing
 
-```bash
+This project is open-source and made available for viewing purposes only. No permission is granted to copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works.
-./build.sh
-```
-
-## Technologies Used
-
-- **C++**: Core application logic
-- **Crafter.CppDOM**: DOM manipulation library
-- **WebAssembly**: Runtime environment
-- **CSS3**: Modern styling with animations and gradients
-- **HTML5**: Semantic markup
-
-## Customization
-
-To add new blog posts:
-1. Edit `interfaces/Catcrafts-Blog.cppm`
-2. Add new entries to the `posts` vector
-
-To modify styling:
-1. Edit `styles.css`
-2. Adjust colors, fonts, and layout as needed
