+# Nested Routes
+
+The blog template supports posts in nested sub-folders. This helps in organisation and can be used to group posts of similar content e.g. a multi-part series. This post is itself an example of a nested route! It's located in the `/data/blog/nested-route` folder.
+
+## How
+
+Simplify create multiple folders inside the main `/data/blog` folder and add your `.md`/`.mdx` files to them. You can even create something like `/data/blog/nested-route/deeply-nested-route/my-post.md`
+
+We use Next.js catch all routes to handle the routing and path creations.
+
+## Use Cases
+
+Here are some reasons to use nested routes
+
+- More logical content organisation (blogs will still be displayed based on the created date)
+- Multi-part posts
+- Different sub-routes for each author
+- Internationalization (though it would be recommended to use [Next.js built-in i8n routing](https://nextjs.org/docs/advanced-features/i18n-routing))
+
+## Note
+
+- The previous/next post links at bottom of the template are currently sorted by date. One could explore modifying the template to refer the reader to the previous/next post in the series, rather than by date.
