A round of behind-the-scenes cleanup.

Comment spam — gone.
We removed 27 pharma pingbacks, closed pingbacks on every existing post, and locked the door on new ones. Comments now require name, email, and manual approval, and a blocklist drops the most common spam terms straight to trash. Akismet is in place for anything that slips through.

Browser tab titles no longer double the site name — you’ll see “Welcome | IslamAwakened” instead of “Welcome – IslamAwakened | IslamAwakened”.

A few hidden heading-level labels (“Sidebar”, “Footer”) that were quietly cluttering screen-reader users’ navigation have been demoted to invisible-only text.

And on the home page itself, the “Explore a Word →” and “Try Word-for-Word →” buttons now go straight to the English word-by-word view, instead of stopping one click short, or erroring.
