fix(blog): update song search post to reflect actual release date

In the interest of factual accuracy, we're retroactively correcting the post on the song search feature (which was meant to be released on December 31, 2025) to account for the feature's actual release date, which happened much later than intended due to unforeseen issues deploying the website.

A full list of changes shipped in the update was also added.

 ## List of changes
 
 - Added a search bar on the page's navbar!
 - The results page includes:
   - Total number of results returned
-  - Sorting by recent, popular, duration, play count and note count
+  - Sorting by **recent, **popular**, **duration**, **play count** and **note count\*\*
   - Ordering (ascending, descending)
   - Many more filtering options coming right next!
 
-We'd like to thank [tomast1337](https://github.com/tomast1337) for a significant portion of the implementation, as well as our Discord community for providing valuable feedback, and even developing some alternatives (such as the **awesome** [Note Block World Finder](https://nbw.flwc.cc/)) to fill in the gap while the official solution wasn't out!
+### Bugfixes and improvements
 
-We hope you enjoy the update, and the search feature makes it ever easier to find creations you like on Note Block World!
+- Added a translucent, glass-like effect on the navbar!
+- Fixed icons looking huge during page load, before settling in place. We've had an... \*_ahem_\*- _alignment_ session with the icons and they will behave now.
+- Fixed unformatted Markdown showing on blog post previews.
+- The navbar becomes scrollable if its contents are too large to fit the screen. (This will be replaced by a proper responsive design soon!)
+- Fixed song preview cards being huge when there weren't enough entries to fill an entire column.
+- Mouse hover areas for the popup and the hover effect are now the same on the navbar buttons.
