## Pretty URLs
By default Hugo will create content with 'pretty' URLs. For example
content created at /content/extras/urls.md will be rendered at
/content/extras/urls/index.html and accessible at /content/extras/urls. No
no standard server side configuration is required for these pretty urls to
work.
By default, Hugo create content with 'pretty' URLs. For example,
content created at `/content/extras/urls.md` will be rendered at
`/public/extras/urls/index.html`, thus accessible from the browser
at http://example.com/extras/urls/. No non-standard server-side
configuration is required for these pretty URLs to work.
If you would like to have ugly URLs, you are in luck. Hugo supports the
ability to create your entire site with ugly URLs. Simply use the
`--uglyUrls=true` flag on the command line.
If you would like to have what we call "ugly URLs",
e.g. http://example.com/extras/urls.html, you are in luck.
Hugo supports the ability to create your entire site with ugly URLs.
Simply add `uglyurls = true` to your site-wide `config.toml`,
or use the `--uglyUrls=true` flag on the command line.
If you want a specific piece of content to have an exact URL, you can
specify this in the front matter under the url key. See [Content
specify this in the front matter under the `url` key. See [Content
Organization](/content/organization/) for more details.
## Canonicalization
<!--
By default, all relative URLs encountered in the input will be canonicalized
using `baseurl`, so that a link `/css/foo.css` becomes
`http://yoursite.example.com/css/foo.css`.
Setting `canonifyurls` to `false` will prevent this canonicalization.

By default, all relative URLs encountered in the input are left unmodified,
e.g. `/css/foo.css` would stay as `/css/foo.css`.
By setting `canonifyurls` to `true`, all relative URLs would instead
be *canonicalized* using `baseurl`. For example, assuming you have
`baseurl = http://yoursite.example.com/` defined in the site-wide
config.toml, the relative URL `/css/foo.css` would be turned into
the absolute URL `http://yoursite.example.com/css/foo.css`.
Benefits of canonicalization include fixing all URLs to be absolute, which may
aid with some parsing tasks. Note though that all real browsers handle this

Benefits of non-canonicalization include being able to have resource inclusion

page was retrieved.

### Define Structure of Website
Hugo assumes that you organize the content of your site in a meaningful way and uses the same structure to render the website. Notice that we have the line `contentdir: "content"` in our configuration file. This means that all the actual content of the website should be placed somewhere within a folder named `content`. Hugo treats all directories in `content` as sections. For our example we only need one section: a place to hold our blog posts. So we created two new folders:
