The Post List element lets you display different blog posts on different site pages. You can add a Post List element to any page and choose which blog categories to show on that page. For example, if you have a recipe blog, you might want to show your salad recipe blog posts on one page, and your dessert recipe blog posts on another.
This is a great way to drive traffic to your blog from other areas of your site and also highlight some new and interesting posts.
Step 1 | Set up your category
First, you need to set up your categories in your blog. Categories are a great way to add structure to your blog by grouping similar posts together.

- Enter a description under Category description. This description also appears in search engine results and when you share the category page on social media.
- (Optional) Click the Add icon + under Category image to choose an image for the category. This image also appears when you share the category page on social media.
