  The current behavior (`header-end`) to add a link to the blog before the theme switcher in the header on large viewports and a link to the mobile menu sidebar for non-blog pages on smaller viewports remains unchanged. Two new behaviors are now available:

  - `header-start` — Adds a link to the blog after the site title or logo in the header on large viewports. On smaller viewports, a link to the blog is added to the mobile menu sidebar for non-blog pages.
  - `none` — Does not add any links to the blog and it is up to the user to add links to the blog wherever they want.

  Blog posts are now consistently ordered by their [`date`](https://starlight-blog-docs.vercel.app/guides/frontmatter/#date-required) in descending order, and then by their [`title`](https://starlight-blog-docs.vercel.app/guides/frontmatter/#title-required) in ascending order if the dates are identical.
