Umbraco url for blogs. Adding url prefix

I have a DocumentType called Blogs. It has a child DocumentType called Blog.

I create a content of type Blog.

The name of that content is "Coding is great".

I can now navigate to that blog with the URL:

www.example.com/coding-is-great

I want it to be:

www.example.com/blogs/coding-is-great

How can I prefix URLs with something like the above?

-----Edited

In response to wingyip answer. I do already have a structure like this:

enter image description here

But the urls do not generate as you'd expect.

I disagree with the approach taken by the other two - To achieve what the op requires is simpler by rearranging content.

Its very important to note, and is a common issue with people starting out in Umbraco, that the hierarchy of your document types has nothing to do with the structure/hierarchy of your website.

The structure of your website is dictated by your Content tree.

So if you had a parent node called Blogs which had a child node of Coding is great then you wouldn't have to do any mucking around - the url would be as you require it.

Home
   Blogs
      Coding is great

In your document types, is there any reason that Blog is a child of Blogs. The only valid reason to do this is if Blog needs to inherit properties from Blogs otherwise Blog should not be nested.

If I was doing this I may have a document type called Blog with an associated template that would list my Blog items.

Does that clear anything up?
