100 folders for 100 posts?

Just a question.

If i have 100+ blog posts. Will I have to make 100+ folders (i.e 1 folder for every post)? or One single folder (eg. Blog) is enough to put all the blog posts?

Sorry, I don't have the answer, but I am also interested in the answer to this!

Hi Doson,
You would want 100 folders, one per post. Within each folder would be your md file (blog_item.md or whatever) which has your blog entry text and also any other things for that post (images, videos, etc) so that the folder structure is similar to a database entry for each post. You can put these post folders under a Blog folder if you like.

ty. Is there a way to put all the blog posts, media under one folder (eg. Blog) without any sub-folders.

This way.
Blog (Folder)
-- 1st Post.md
-- 2ndPost.md

instead of like this
Blog (Folder)
-- 1st-post (folder)
-- item.md

@csixtyfour:
Is it the creation of 100+ folders that sounds like a loooong boring Saturday night?

Hahaha. It is almost done now 😃

@doson:
This way.

Blog (Folder)

– 1st Post.md

– 2ndPost.md

If you guys can have alternatives. This way would be nice, clean & more simple 😃

Template can be specified on a per file basis on the header/frontmatter of the .md file. It then override the default behavior based on the filename .

template: custom

See documentation for more.

Further to this, create a folder with a custom template that has a twig for loop, and have a page collection in the folder's main md file, eg., {% for pg in page.collection %}. Then put all the blog posts into a sub-folder, each with a similar name so a simple regex will pick them up. Then have the page collection pick up the blog posts. Each blog file should then have template: blog (or other template you want) in the header. Consequently, when your top file template iterates through the blog posts, all you need to do is {{ pg.content }} inside the for loop.
