The job is finally done. After considering moving all the images in the blog over to WebP, and then finally getting the migration under way, I'm all done.

As I mentioned before: I've done this by hand, one post at a time, also adding missing covers as I go. The process went faster than I anticipated and I found that adding linting support to BlogMore really helped with this process. Each time I made a batch of changes I could run the linter to make sure I'd not broken any image links.

As for the result: I've brought the total size of images on the blog down from around 56MB to about 32MB, give or take (keep in mind the latter figure also includes all the WebP images I've added while blogging since I started this process). While I don't really have to worry so much about the storage costs of these images (I'm using GitHub Pages after all), overall, over time, there should be savings in the time it takes for readers to load any given page.
