I'm giving obsidian a go as an editor for my blog and one of the main things I
want to fix in my workflow is the ability to quickly drop in images.  on first
look through the community plugins I found Image Converter.  I set it up to
convert to webp and drop them in a git submodule.  I may make it something
other than a git repo in the future, but I've learned that adding images to my
blog repo quickly makes it heavy and hard to clone on other machines.

Once the images are there they are pushed and deployed as their own site to
cloudflare pages.  I made a quick edit to my <a href="/sick-wikilink-hover/" class="wikilink" data-title="sick wikilink hover" data-description="Today I set up some sick wikilink hover effects using tailwind see a-case-for-tailwindcss. When you hover over them they show an image preview of the link..." data-date="2024-05-30">sick wikilink hover</a> plugin for
my blog.  if it sees a wikilink ending in webp, convert the domain over to
obsidian-assets.waylonwalker.com, and clean up the remaining `"!  "` that the
python md-it library leaves behind.

!!! note
    after first try I needed to increase the width from 600 to 1400, the image in this post was unreadable.
