An image belonging to a blog article, created when the article is approved from the meta fields in its content file. The image bytes are not held here, only the hash of the stored file, so displaying one means reading the hash from the blob store. The orientation field says which shape the image is cropped for, using the ORIENTATION constants on this class; a null orientation marks the primary image. When rendering for a given orientation the preferred image is used if there is one, otherwise the primary, otherwise any image on the article.
