Published the article as a live WordPress post, set the existing notebook/laptop image as both the featured image and visible inline figure, and confirmed the post appears on the `/blog/` index. I also set the author to `Lena Ortiz` and verified the page-for-posts configuration is still pointing at the existing Blog page.

Remaining limitation: the available image is a strong thematic fit, but it is a desk/notebook/laptop photo rather than an exact printed one-page report shot.
