To correctly configure slugs in Webflow to nest your blog articles within the corresponding web page, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to the Designer view in Webflow.
  2. Select the page where you want to nest your blog articles.
  3. Add a Collection List element to the page to display your blog articles.
  4. Double click on the Collection List element and connect it to the blog collection you want to display.
  5. Customize the layout and design of the Collection List element to suit your needs.
  6. Inside the Collection List element, add a Link Block for each blog article.
  7. Connect the Link Block to the respective blog post in the collection.
  8. In the Link Block settings, go to the "Settings" tab and click on "This link is a URL".
  9. In the URL field, enter the desired slug for the blog article, making sure to include a forward slash (/) before the slug.
  10. Click "Save" to save the Link Block settings.
  11. Repeat steps 6 to 10 for each blog article in the Collection List element.
  12. Publish your site to make the changes live.

By following these steps, you will create slugs that nest your blog articles within the corresponding web page, making it easier for visitors to navigate and find specific articles.

Example:
If your blog collection has a slug field, let's say blog-slug, and your blog article slugs are article-1, article-2, etc., you would configure the slug for the first blog article as /blog-slug/article-1. This would create a URL structure like https://yoursite.com/blog-slug/article-1.

Additionally, to further optimize your blog articles for search engines, consider using descriptive slugs that include relevant keywords related to the article content. This can enhance the SEO value of your blog posts and improve their visibility in search engine results.

Overall, configuring slugs correctly in Webflow allows you to create a well-organized and easily navigable blog structure, improving the user experience and SEO performance of your website.
