  The Kestrel blog as an Atom feed, newest first. One <entry> per post in
  blog.html, with the same title, the post's meta description as the summary,
  its hero (og:image) as the enclosure and its datePublished. tests/test_site.py
  checks the two stay in step.

  The newsletter server (deploy/newsletter) reads this feed each hour. A post it
  has not seen is held, and sales@ is asked to approve the summary email to
  subscribers. Add the entry when the post is published.
