Instead of making "Music Blocks 4 Program Builder" bold, I think you should link to something, like its GH repo

or you could link to one of its initial announcements, like https://musicblocks.net/2022/02/12/public-release-of-music-blocks-v4-0-for-testing/, since you link to the GH repo at the end.

| ## About the Project | ||
|
|
||
| Music Blocks v4 is a redesign of v3 in TypeScript, React, and Vite. A lot of the pieces already exist: an editor, a p5.js painter, a Tone.js singer, a compiler, and an interpreter. There is also the Masonry brick editor, built over GSoC 2024 and 2025, with hundreds of bricks and drag-and-drop support. |

| ## Plan for Weeks 1 & 2 (May 25 – Jun 7) |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
I think it's fine to write the plan for the first two weeks, but to be clear these blogposts are expected weekly.

📝 Description
Adds my GSoC '26 community bonding blog post as a new page on the Sugar Labs website, along with my one-time author profile.
This is my introductory post for the GSoC '26 program, where I'll be working on the Music Blocks 4 Program Builder under mentors Anindya Kundu, Justin Charles, and Safwan Sayeed. The post introduces me to the community, gives an overview of the project, and outlines my plan for the first two weeks of the coding period.
