Description

The navbar renders WebsiteLinks as bare icons — mdi:pencil (Writing), mdi:telescope (Astrophotography), mdi:account (About) — with no visible text and no tooltip. None of the three is self-explanatory; a pencil in a header more commonly means "compose" or "edit" than "blog archive."

Suggested fix
  • Show text labels alongside/instead of icons at md: and up, where there is plenty of horizontal room.
  • At minimum, add title attributes so hover reveals the destination.
  • Verify aria-labels are present for screen readers.

Research direction

Start at the navbar component that renders WebsiteLinks and inspect the three icon-only destinations: Writing, Astrophotography, and About. Check the responsive behavior at the md breakpoint, then verify visible labels or title tooltips and accessible aria-labels for each link. Done means every destination is identifiable visually or on hover and by screen readers.
