[nitpick] For consistency with other components in the codebase (Community, Challenges, Profile, etc.), consider adding transition-colors duration-300 to the main container div to provide smooth transitions when toggling dark mode.

The loading text should have a dark mode variant to ensure readability on dark backgrounds. Add dark:text-gray-300 to match the pattern used elsewhere in the component.

Suggested change

	<p className="text-gray-600">Loading blog posts...</p>
	<p className="text-gray-600 dark:text-gray-300">Loading blog posts...</p>

The error state container background is missing the dark mode class. Add dark:bg-gray-900 to the outer div to match the styling pattern used in the loading state and main content.

Suggested change

	<div className="min-h-screen bg-gray-50 py-12 flex items-center justify-center">
