Adds a blog post covering the Kern Icon & Visual Language System work for Summer of Bitcoin 2026: 11 shipped PRs (icon families, semantic colours, login screen redesign, keyboard highlight states, PIN delay arc, passphrase masking), the technical decisions behind the login and keyboard redesigns, and reflections on the project and what was learned working in LVGL/C. Adds the author profile to _config.yml per the contribution guidelines in README.md.
Adds bordered card sections with a Kern-orange accent (matching the project's own brand) for the intro, project snapshot, PR list heading, technical-decisions heading, and reflections. Colors are tuned for this blog's actual light theme (white/off-white cards, dark body text) rather than a dark theme, so it sits naturally alongside the rest of the site instead of clashing with it. Verified with kramdown (this site's markdown engine, matching _config.yml's `markdown: kramdown` / `input: GFM`) that every custom HTML block passes through unescaped and well-formed, and that the PR table and all 5 images still render correctly.
