Hi @javizqh and @jmplaza,

I have verified this issue both on the deployed website and locally using Jekyll. I also identified the relevant source files involved in the current behavior.

I would be interested in contributing a fix if the proposed changes align with the project's direction. Could you please share your thoughts on the proposed approach and whether you would prefer this to be addressed in a single PR or split into separate PRs?

Thank you for your time.
