#147 23f3f67 Thanks @HiDeoo! - Uses Starlight’s built-in support for internationalization powered by i18next to render blog post creation and update dates.

This change allows for more flexibility in formatting and translating these dates, including the ability to use different formats for different locales.

The starlightBlog.post.date string has been added to the list of UI strings provided by the plugin and the existing starlightBlog.post.lastUpdate string has been updated.

#139 6ed1559 Thanks @HiDeoo! - Displays cover images for blog posts in pages that list blog posts such as the blog index page.
#139 6ed1559 Thanks @HiDeoo! - Adds a new navigation option to the blog configuration to control the type of navigation links to the blog to display on a page.

The current behavior (header-end) to add a link to the blog before the theme switcher in the header on large viewports and a link to the mobile menu sidebar for non-blog pages on smaller viewports remains unchanged. Two new behaviors are now available:
- header-start — Adds a link to the blog after the site title or logo in the header on large viewports. On smaller viewports, a link to the blog is added to the mobile menu sidebar for non-blog pages.
- none — Does not add any links to the blog and it is up to the user to add links to the blog wherever they want.

#139 6ed1559 Thanks @HiDeoo! - Fixes an inconsistency in blog post ordering for posts with the same date.

Blog posts are now consistently ordered by their date in descending order, and then by their title in ascending order if the dates are identical.
