The Blur thumbnails plugin generates thumbnails with a gaussian blur at build time, it produces an effect similar to "Medium" blog posts. Ideal for lazy loading images with placeholders.
It requires PIL
Set up like any other plugin, making sure to set PLUGIN_PATH and add blur_thumbnails to the PLUGINS list.
BLUR_PATH: The path where all the images resides, could be theblogor any other folder. Make sure you configure your static folder properly.
Once the BLUR_PATH is defined, the thumnails will be generated automatically. The extension will be the same and a -thumbnail will be added at the end of the filename. The resolution is fix to 200x200 but this could be changed in the code if need be.
