Features:

  - Create separate publications app (renamed from blog)
  - Add static Django index pages at /blog/ and /events/ (no CMS setup needed)
  - Implement prefixed URLs: /blog/slug/ and /events/slug/
  - Separate BlogPage and EventPage models completely
  - Add individual page templates for both content types
