Add Image to Blog Post
Instructions
-
Parse the arguments: <image-path> [post-slug-or-date] [placement]
image-path (required): path to the source image file (absolute or relative to project root)post-slug-or-date (optional): date prefix like 2026-02-07 or full slug. If omitted, use the most recent blog post by date.placement (optional): cover, middle, or footer. If omitted, ask the user.
-
Resolve the target blog post:
- Find the matching file in
content/blog/ by date prefix or slug
- Extract the date (YYYY-MM-DD) from the filename
-
Optimize and place the image (always optimize by default, never copy a raw phone photo in):
- Create
static/images/blog/YYYY-MM-DD/ if it doesn't exist
- Run
bash scripts/optimize-image.sh <source> static/images/blog/YYYY-MM-DD/{placement}.webp --width <W> --quality 85
- Width by slot:
cover = 1600 (min, ≥820px tall: the template builds a 1440w retina hero from it; bump width for ultra-wide sources), middle/footer = 1200
- Report the before/after size the script prints (before KB, after KB, % saved)
- Remove the source file after a successful optimize
-
Update the blog post based on placement (all images are .webp). If the slot currently points at the shared placeholder /images/blog/placeholder.webp, replace that reference with the real per-date path:
- cover: set
static_thumbnail = "/images/blog/YYYY-MM-DD/cover.webp" in front matter [extra] (newer posts do not add a body ![cover] line; the template renders the hero from static_thumbnail)
- middle: insert
 near the middle of the body (or ask user where to place it)
- footer: insert
 as the last content line
-
Verify the image path resolves correctly with zola build
