fix(ui): reapply author profile CSS patches and resolve blog page overlap conflicts

[Savvythelegend]

This PR reintroduces the previous CSS patches for the author profile section that were accidentally overridden by subsequent PRs.

The CSS class selector .avatar.margin-bottom--sm.author-as-h1_iMAg appears nowhere in the codebase and will never match any HTML elements, making this fix ineffective.

Analysis

Ineffective CSS selector using non-existent class author-as-h1_iMAg

What fails: CSS rule .avatar.margin-bottom--sm.author-as-h1_iMAg on line 1778 of src/css/custom.css never matches any DOM elements because the class author-as-h1_iMAg does not exist in the rendered HTML

How to reproduce:

# Build the Docusaurus site and inspect author avatar elements
npm install && npm run build
# Check rendered HTML in build/blog/git-coding-agent/index.html
# Author avatar only has classes: "avatar margin-bottom--sm" (without author-as-h1_iMAg)

Result: CSS styling for author avatars (150px sizing, border-radius) is never applied, leaving the original overlap issue unresolved

Expected: CSS selectors should match actual HTML structure. Docusaurus generates <div class="avatar margin-bottom--sm"> for blog author avatars, not author-as-h1_iMAg

Fix removes the non-existent class from the selector so the CSS rule actually applies to the intended elements.
