How is the blog post automatially stored inside the right folder?

We are developing a submission application with similar functionality as how the Blog does now. The application allows users to create a story (similar to creating a bog), and then post related media files (similar to add a blog post) from the live site. Ideally, we want to store the media files as child items of the relative story. Just like the blog posts could be organized by post Month. What's the trick of doing this? Is a BlogMonth document type item automatically generated if there is no month folder for the blog post?

// Special treatment for blog post (ensure parent month)
if (newdocument && (ci != null) && (ci.ClassName.ToLower() == "cms.blogpost"))
{
