Add the typed/handwritten submission, model picker, graded results, and
explanation screenshots; switch the how-it-works pair to equal-height
boxes with vertically centered content via a new BlogImage fillHeight
prop; tighten the model comparison and Get started sections.

Drop the unused BlogQuote import, polish wording across the proven
accuracy and speed/costs sections, rename Pricing to Payment options,
move the rubric-tweak callout above the explanation screenshots, and
wire real URLs to the docs, ACM paper, and Slack links with
target=_blank.

Across a range of open-ended questions and frontier models, rubric-item accuracy exceeded 99% when paired with clear student work and a well-aligned rubric. Instructors and TAs reported that AI grading was as accurate as human graders for their needs and saved enormous amounts of grading effort.

I'll fill in the image grading link once it's on arXiv.

This link doesn't work yet. It will once we merge in the AI grading docs.

Replace JSX <p> wrapper with plain markdown so the closing callout renders as a single flowing sentence rather than each link on its own line.

Round the measured AI grading speed/cost numbers to conservative round values, flip the table column order to time-then-cost, tighten card padding, and shrink the header's minimum font size for narrower viewports.

This looks good to me. I liked the overall structure and presentation of the content.


I think some instructors will basically want to know that (1) they can try it out for free and (2) where to start -- I know this is at the bottom, but at the very top seems helpful as well.

basically, a callout box at the top saying:

Want to try it out now? Try AI grading for free by redeeming your credit on X page, then hit the "AI 
grading mode" toggle on Y page. Find more instructions in the AI grading documentation.

Add a "Want to try it now?" CTA callout near the top of the post so instructors immediately see how to start, update the headline copy to "Use AI to grade", and tighten the header's minimum font size further.

Replace br-separated lines with a numbered list so steps wrap cleanly and read clearly on narrow screens, and split the navigate/click action into two separate steps.

I'll merge this in once AI grading is ready. Final blocker is that we need @nwalters512 to create an AI grading product on Stripe. Right now users can't purchase AI grading credits on production PL.

Inline the title with mb-3 so there's a clear gap between the heading and the numbered list inside the callout.
