Feat: Add functionality to create new blog posts

[EgbieAndersonUku1]

• Created initial functionality allowing admin or superusers to add new blog posts.
• Added a rich-text editor in the form (new_post.html), enabling text customisation, embedded images, tables, code snippets, etc. This changes also be done via the admin interface, however in the interface the textarea box is smaller
• Created the BlogPost and Category models to support the form.
• Added necessary views and URLs to handle the new blog page.
• Updated the accounts page with a blog card, visible only to superusers and admin accounts which can be used to navigate to page to create a new post.

Decorators

• Applied decorators to restrict post-creation access, redirecting unauthorised users to the home page with an appropriate message.

Updated Requirements

• Updated requirements.txt and settings to support new libraries.

Known Issues

• Logging in from the blog section as a non-authenticated user results in a validation error, because login route is incorrectly appended to the blog URL (e.g., /blog/authentication/login/).

• Reproduction steps:

  1. Logout
  2. Navigate to the blog section
  3. Open the login dropdown and enter credentials
  4. Encounter validation error due to incorrect login URL

This issue will be resolved in future updates.
