-   ```bash
-   # Ubuntu/Debian
-   wget https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-cli/releases/download/v1.4.549/quarto-1.4.549-linux-amd64.deb
-   sudo dpkg -i quarto-1.4.549-linux-amd64.deb
-   
-   # macOS
-   brew install quarto
-   
-   # Windows
-   # Download installer from quarto.org
-   ```
-
-2. **Install Python dependencies** (optional, for code execution in posts):
-   ```bash
-   pip install jupyter matplotlib numpy pandas
-   ```
-
-### Building the Blog
-
-1. **Preview locally** (with live reload):
-   ```bash
-   quarto preview
-   ```
-   This will open your blog at `http://localhost:4000`
-
-2. **Build static site**:
-   ```bash
-   quarto render
-   ```
-   This creates the static site in `_site/` directory
-
-## ✍️ Writing Posts
-
-### Creating a New Post
-
-1. Create a new directory in `posts/`:
-   ```bash
-   mkdir posts/my-new-post
-   ```
-
-2. Copy the template and customize it:
-   ```bash
-   cp templates/POST_TEMPLATE.qmd posts/my-new-post/index.qmd
-   ```
-
-3. Edit your post with the appropriate frontmatter:
-   ```markdown
-   ---
-   title: "Your Post Title"
-   subtitle: "Optional subtitle"
-   author: "Kaivalya Dabhadkar"
-   date: "2024-01-25"
-   categories: [Mathematics, AI, Deep Learning]  # Choose relevant categories
-   image: "thumbnail.jpg"  # Optional thumbnail
-   draft: false  # Set to true to hide from listings
-   toc: true
-   ---
-   
-   ## Introduction
-   
-   Your content here...
-   ```
-
-### Writing Mathematics
-
-Use LaTeX syntax for equations:
-
-- **Inline math**: `$e^{i\pi} + 1 = 0$`
-- **Display math**: 
-  ```markdown
-  $$
-  \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{-x^2} dx = \sqrt{\pi}
-  $$
-  ```
-
-### Including Code
-
-Use triple backticks with language specification:
-
-````markdown
-```python
-import numpy as np
-
-def sigmoid(x):
-    return 1 / (1 + np.exp(-x))
-```
-````
-
-For executable code blocks:
-````markdown
-```{python}
-#| echo: true
-#| code-fold: true
-
-import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
-plt.plot([1, 2, 3], [1, 4, 9])
-plt.show()
-```
-````
-
-### Adding Images
-
-Place images in your post directory and reference them:
-```markdown
-![Description](image.jpg)
-```
-
-### Using Callouts
-
-Quarto supports various callout types:
-
-```markdown
-:::{.callout-note}
-## Note Title
-This is a note callout.
-:::
-
-:::{.callout-tip}
-## Pro Tip
-This is a tip callout.
-:::
-
-:::{.callout-warning}
-## Warning
-This is a warning callout.
-:::
-
-:::{.callout-important}
-## Important
-This is an important callout.
-:::
-```
-
-## 🎨 Customization
-
-### Modifying Themes
-
-- Edit `theme-light.scss` for light mode colors
-- Edit `theme-dark.scss` for dark mode colors
-- Modify `styles.css` for custom styling
-
-### Changing Navigation
-
-Edit the `navbar` section in `_quarto.yml`:
-```yaml
-navbar:
-  left:
-    - text: "New Page"
-      href: newpage.qmd
-```
-
-### Categories
-
-Add new categories by using them in post frontmatter. They'll automatically appear in the filter UI.
-
-## 🚀 Deployment
-

-        uses: quarto-dev/quarto-actions/publish@v2
-        with:
-          target: gh-pages
-```
-
-### Netlify
-
-1. Connect your GitHub repository to Netlify

-## 📝 Tips for Writing
-
-### For Mathematical Content
-
-- Start with intuition before diving into formalism
-- Use visualizations to explain complex concepts
-- Provide concrete examples
-- Include both theoretical and practical perspectives
-
-### For AI/ML Content
-
-- Include code implementations
-- Explain the math behind algorithms
-- Use diagrams for architecture visualization
-- Provide practical applications and use cases
-
-### General Best Practices
-
-- Use descriptive titles and subtitles
-- Include a compelling introduction
-- Break content into digestible sections
-- Add a conclusion summarizing key points
-- Include references and further reading
-
-## 🔧 Troubleshooting
-
-### Common Issues
-
-1. **LaTeX not rendering**: Ensure MathJax is properly loaded
-2. **Images not showing**: Check file paths and extensions
-3. **Dark mode not working**: Clear browser cache
-4. **Build errors**: Run `quarto check` to diagnose

-## Welcome to My Blog! 🎯
+## Welcome to My Blog!
 
 Hi there! I'm **Kaivalya Dabhadkar**, and this is my digital playground where I share my adventures through the fascinating worlds of mathematics and artificial intelligence.
 
-### My Philosophy: Intuition First! 🧠✨
+### My Philosophy: Intuition First!
 
 I've discovered something magical in my learning journey: **intuition comes before rigor**. Too often, academic texts dive straight into formal proofs and definitions, leaving us wondering:
 
-- *"Wait, why did someone think to do it this way?"* 🤔
-- *"If I were discovering this for the first time, how would I have approached it?"* 💭
-- *"What's the story behind this seemingly arbitrary choice?"* 📖
+- *"Wait, why did someone think to do it this way?"*
+- *"If I were discovering this for the first time, how would I have approached it?"*
+- *"What's the story behind this seemingly arbitrary choice?"*
 
 That's exactly what I aim to fix here! I believe the best way to truly understand any concept is to:
 
 1. **Feel it first** - Get an intuitive sense of what's happening
 2. **Question everything** - Ask the "why" questions that textbooks often skip
 3. **Teach to learn** - Feynman Techniquing my way one at a time :)

 My primary passion lies in **Mathematics** and **Artificial Intelligence**, but I love exploring any topic that sparks curiosity. Think of this blog as a conversation with a friend who's just as excited about understanding the "why" behind the "what."
