This is very possible and very easy to do right out of the box. I can’t example everything you’ll need to do in this post since that’s what the docs are for, but this will give you an idea of the source organization you’ll need…

```auto
.
├── content
│ ├── _index.md
│ └── blog
│ ├── my-first-post.md
│ └── my-second-post.md
└── layouts
    ├── _default
    └── index.html

```

You’ll also need layouts, etc, obviously…

But `index.html` will pull content and front matter from `_index.md` plus whatever templating you put in.

I would recommend doing the Quick Start since it does more or less exactly what you’re looking to do. Also `hugo new` will scaffold all the directory structure you need…

HTH.
