	2	Centering and adding a highlight when the user hovers over a title.

	3	Converting title links to h1 elements for a clear hierarchy.

	4	Adding a dedicated right navbar for easy access to navigation options.

	5	Adding aria-labels to describe images, titles, usernames, timestamps, and karma points.
