Bug Fixes

OpenSea NFT OEmbed Fix

Fixed an issue where OpenSea NFT embeds were not working correctly in Ghost content. The problem occurred after OpenSea updated their URL format to add support for Solana blockchain NFTs, which broke the regex pattern Ghost was using to identify and process these embeds.

The fix updates the regex pattern to properly recognize and handle the new OpenSea URL format, ensuring that NFTs from both Ethereum and Solana blockchains can be properly embedded in Ghost content.
