This is a sample live blog. During breaking news, elections and major sporting events, our team will post short, time-stamped updates here. The page carries a pulsing LIVE badge and checks for new updates automatically every 30 seconds.

How it works

12:30 PM — Updates appear newest-first. Editors add each new line from the WordPress editor and readers see a prompt to load the latest, without refreshing the page.

12:15 PM — When coverage ends, an editor marks the live blog as ended and the badge switches from LIVE to ENDED, leaving the full timeline in place to read back.

12:00 PM — Welcome. This placeholder entry shows the format; replace it with your own coverage when your next live event begins.
