Added Fix:
Enable /api/v1/blogs/{blog_id}/like endpoint to automatically remove existing dislike by the current_user before creating new like, and vice versa with the /api/v1/blogs/{blog_id}/dislike endpoint.
This is important if a user clicks the like button after already clicking the dislike button without first removing the dislike. Otherwise, the database will have unintended records of both like and dislike for the same user on the same blog
