   SHARED BLOG STYLES

   Every page under this directory used to carry its own inline <style> block:
   18 copies of the same CSS, drifting independently. This file holds the rules
   that were byte-identical on all of them.

   It is linked BEFORE each page's remaining inline block, so a page can still
   override anything here — but if two pages need the same rule, it belongs in
   this file, not pasted into both.

   ARTICLE HERO IMAGE  (revised 2026-08-27)

   It used to sit ABOVE the headline at 820px wide in a forced 3/2 box, which
   measured 547px tall — 61% of a 900px laptop screen — and pushed the opening
   paragraph to 1059px down, below the fold. People arrive on these pages from
   a search with a tax question; the first thing they saw was a stock photo.

   The forced 3/2 box also cropped every photo: the five source images run
   1.33:1 to 1.90:1 and not one of them is 3:2. No aspect-ratio is set now, so
   each shows whole; at the 560px cap that lands between 295px and 420px tall.

   The image also earns its keep now — it is referenced as the Article schema
   `image` and as each post's og:image, neither of which it was before. It was
   decorative in every sense.

.article-hero-img {
    display: block;
    /* width:auto + both maxima lets each photo scale down whole: no forced
       aspect-ratio to crop it, and no letterboxing either, because the element
       shrinks to the scaled image. max-height matters because the sources are
       not one shape — the 4:3 one rendered 420px tall at 560 wide, which put
       the opening paragraph back within 14px of the fold on a 900px screen. */
