IMPORTANT: Placeholder Images

The .jpg files in these blog post directories are PLACEHOLDER images (1x1 pixel gray images).

They were created to allow Hugo to build without errors while waiting for the actual images to be downloaded from assets.seobotai.com.

How to Replace Placeholders with Actual Images

Run one of these commands from the repository root:

Option 1: Using the Bash Script

./scripts/download_external_images.sh

Option 2: Using the Python Script

python3 ./scripts/download_external_images.py

Option 3: Using GitHub Actions

Trigger the “Download External Images” workflow from the Actions tab in GitHub.

Why Placeholders?

The automated environment had network restrictions preventing direct download from assets.seobotai.com. These placeholders ensure:

Hugo can build the site without missing image errors
The markdown references are correct and ready to use
The actual images can be downloaded later when network access is available

Verifying Actual Images

After running the download script, verify the images were replaced:

# Check file sizes - actual images should be much larger than 631 bytes
find home/content/english/blog -name "*.jpg" -newer scripts/download_external_images.sh -exec ls -lh {} \;

Placeholder images are 631 bytes. Real images should be several KB to several MB.
