    "content": "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit."

The server will respond with the newly created blog post object, including its unique identifier.

Fetch All Blog Posts

To fetch all blog posts, send a GET request to the /blogs endpoint. The server will respond with a list of all blog posts available in the application.
