Blog image idea

I'm fine with the image used in the 2024 blog, I have included it in this post.

Before you submit your post

Check everything off this list before you submit your post for review.

• I'm familiar with the Octopus voice and style, the guide for blog content basics, and writing educational content.
• I've checked the content using Grammarly (Octopus has a corporate license) and the Hemingway app to remove typos, grammatical errors, and passive voice. Note: I don't have a Grammarly license as these were apparently limited
• The PR build passes validation, and if it doesn't, I've checked the common validations errors and none of those apply.
• The images I've included follow the rules for working with images.
• I've added alt text for all the images I've included (alt text describes an image to people unable to see it, 125 characters max)
• The draft is complete and this post is ready to be reviewed. (Please mark the post 'ready for review' at the bottom of the PR.)
• I've dropped a note in Slack in #topic-content-marketing to let Tegan Ali know my post is ready for review. (No need to fill out a content brief.)
• I'll draft social media posts for Twitter and LinkedIn. I'll post them for review in #topic-social-media after the post has been edited or after the PR has been merged. I dont think we need a social media post for this, though it might be good for the newsletter.

How to review this PR

Phrasing and tone. This is talking about deprecating features so I'm hoping it comes off considerate enough, even though most of these capabilities should be long out of date.
