Summary

Applies the updated site copy from the author's copy doc:

  • Home hero (src/pages/home/home-page.tsx): new tagline — "Woody Political Ecology, the use and abuse of trees in history, and tree facts to impress your friends"
  • Footer (src/components/layout/site-footer.tsx): the brand blurb was a duplicate of the old hero tagline, so it's synced to the new tagline. Not explicitly in the copy doc — inferred to keep the two in step.
  • About page (src/pages/about/about-page.tsx): "Our Mission" heading + lorem ipsum replaced with "Why Tree Politics?" and the two intro paragraphs
  • Author bio (src/components/author-bio.tsx): placeholder text replaced with the real bio; renders on both Home and About

Copyedits applied

Light grammar/punctuation fixes to the doc text — voice and jokes unchanged. Recorded here for later reference:

# Doc original As published
1 its one that bothered me it's one that bothered me
2 shape and our shaped by our political landscape shape and are shaped by our political landscape
3 is certified hater is a certified hater
4 a MSc … and MLA an MSc … and an MLA
5 landscape designer, he holds landscape designer. He holds
6 snicker to myself, what does that even mean? snicker to myself: what does that even mean?
7 Rav 4 RAV4
8 my personal experience, interacting with people my personal experience interacting with people
9 (missing period at end of first About paragraph) period added

The hero tagline is kept without a trailing period, as written in the doc.

Testing

  • pnpm lint — no errors (5 pre-existing warnings)
  • pnpm format:check — clean
  • pnpm test:run — 2/2 pass
  • pnpm build — passes
  • Verified locally in the dev server

Notes

  • The author bio still uses the gray placeholder avatar; a headshot can drop in as a follow-up.
  • The tagline is now hardcoded in two places (hero + footer); if it keeps changing, a SITE_TAGLINE constant in src/lib/constants.ts would be a natural follow-up.

- Replace hero tagline and matching footer blurb with new copy
- Replace About page placeholder with "Why Tree Politics?" intro
- Replace author bio placeholder with real bio
- Light grammar/punctuation copyedits; full list in PR description
