I know I can make a new folder and put “type: post” in the frontmatter to achieve what I’m looking for, but I like the built-in post stuff and rather not mess with it. Is there a simple way to select the folder where the posts get published to? so it’s /post/2017/05/13 instead of just 2017/05/13

You can set permalinks for entire sections in your site config or set the url directly in the front matter of an individual content file…

Permalink settings go in your `config.yaml` file

Year month day are available. You could also manually create folders each month and day within `/content/blog/...` and let the file name and path determine the URL.
