The "Blog List" element is very similar to the "Post List" one. Both elements are used as a way to showcase a list of your posts, depending on the criteria that you choose.

However, there are some differences between these elements, and we've decided to create this article in case you need a better understanding of when each element should be used.

Placement

the "Post List" element will be used on singular posts and pages, from within the Thrive Architect editor;
the "Blog List" element will be used on Thrive Theme Builder blog templates, and the templates can be applied to multiple pages and posts;

Thrive Theme Builder Templates

When you customize your Thrive Theme Builder theme and edit the templates, here is what you will notice regarding the two elements:

the "Post List" element can be added to any template, including blog templates;
the "Blog List" element can only be added to Blog Templates;
you can add as many "Post List" elements to a template, as you wish;
inside a Blog Template, you will only be able to add one "Blog List" element;

Hopefully, this article cleared some things out about the "Post List" and "Blog List" element, both of which can be used inside our Thrive editors.
