How to Create a Test Blog Using Real Images

Creating a test blog using your latest image uploads is a great way to validate your Supabase-powered CMS setup. This post demonstrates how to generate a blog using actual uploaded media, ensuring that everything from image rendering to content structuring works as expected.

Why Use Real Images in a Test Blog?

  • Visual Validation: You get to verify if images appear correctly in both the hero and gallery sections.
  • Performance Testing: See how different image formats and sizes affect load speed.
  • Workflow Confirmation: Ensure that your image upload-to-publication pipeline is functioning.

Setting Up the Hero Image

Using the latest uploaded image, we can assign a compelling visual to the top of our article. This helps with both engagement and SEO.

Example:

image: "https://supabase.benharvey.org/storage/v1/object/public/benharvey.org/content-images/1748415299916-hero7.webp"

Organizing the Gallery Section

Here’s how to structure a four-image gallery at the bottom of your post:

## Gallery

<div class="image-grid">

![Gallery Image 1](https://supabase.benharvey.org/storage/v1/object/public/benharvey.org/content-images/1748415197742-blog1-8.webp)

![Gallery Image 2](https://supabase.benharvey.org/storage/v1/object/public/benharvey.org/content-images/1748415172386-blog1-8.webp)

</div>
