Summary

  • Post descriptions: adds explicit `description:` front matter to all 3 posts — jekyll-seo-tag will use this as the exact meta description string instead of auto-generating from the first paragraph, giving full control over what Google shows as the search snippet
  • Tab page metadata: adds `title` and `description` to `archives.md`, `categories.md`, and `tags.md` — these pages previously had zero SEO metadata
  • Internal links: two cross-links between related posts
    • DNS post links to the health checks post at the paragraph about using a load balancer for real-time routing
    • Health checks post links to the DNS post at the client-side section where service registry / DNS propagation is relevant

Testing Done

  • CI passes
  • Verify meta descriptions appear correctly in `` of built posts

Post front matter:
- Add explicit description to all 3 posts — gives jekyll-seo-tag a
  precise string to use as the meta description rather than
  auto-generating from the first paragraph

Tab pages:
- Add title + description to archives.md, categories.md, tags.md —
  these pages had zero SEO metadata; now have proper og:description
  and meta description tags

Internal linking:
- DNS post → links to health checks post at the "use a load balancer
  for real-time routing" paragraph
- Health checks post → links to DNS post at the service registry /
  client-side section where DNS propagation is naturally relevant

Fails fast if a new post is merged without a description, preventing
auto-generated meta descriptions from being used in search results.

The description renders as .post-desc below the post title. Without an
explicit size it inherits the full body font size; 0.875rem makes it
visually subordinate to the title while staying readable.
