This is done by just adding a folder to the server and setting the first page in that folder as an index page.
If you want to create this, add a folder to your site in freeway called “blog”. In that folder add an index.html page, and then upload it to your server.
When you request the url yoursite.com/blog the index page you created should show up.
OK … I went to PAGE in the top bar and went to NEW FOLDER … created a folder called
blog
which has appeared in the left hand window of the main Freeway window underneath all the pages … I can’t seem to drag a page to the folder inside freeway, when I look in the website folder on my hard drive … there is a folder called blog … so in the finder window of the site, I dragged the
blog.html
page inside the
blog
folder
and relaunched it and in the freeway page window (left) the folder was still there … but there appeared to be no document below it or inside it when I double clicked it … but the original
blog.html file was also still there … even though I had dragged it in a finder window to the blog folder and re-named it
index.html
after uploading the page returned
You don’t have permission to access /blog/ on this server.
I’m obviously doing something - or two things wrong … any further help ?

STOP right there!
First rule: never mess with what’s in the Site folder or any site.
Freeway manages what’s in there, not you. You won’t make the world
explode or anything like that, but it won’t work the way you might
expect. As you found.
EVERYthing that is involved with moving and managing the pages in a
Freeway site is done from within the Freeway site document. If you
have a folder in the Site panel of your Freeway document you shold be
able to drag a page in there. But remember, you don’t drag it from
the layout area - you drag the page icon that you see in the Site
panel.
I think you are almost there.
Just working just in Freeway’s site panel, as Keith noted, create the blog folder, just as you said, (or you can click on the little gear icon on the bottom right-side of freeway).
I’ve noticed that it is sometimes hard to drag a page into a folder in freeway if the new folder is on the very bottom of the site panel, but try it again.
Highlight your page (in the site panel), then move it on top of the new “blog” folder, hover it directly over the folder icon until the icon for the “blog” folder changes color, then drop it, make sure that page that you moved is named index.html
