in the striking blog general settings.

[/tab]
[/tabs]
Note : This means you can have unlimited blog listing pages.
Creating a blog listing page with the blogshortcode
Any page or even post can contain a bloglist showing one or more blogposts. This way a page can, for example show a small list of posts about a certain subject/topic, below the default story of that page. The bloglist can be inserted by a shortcode at any point into the body content of a page, post or even portfolio item. The shortcode is created and generated by the buildin striking shortcode generator and could look like this:
[code] [divider_line]
Bloglist with full featured image above the title
[divider_line]
[blog count=»2″ nopaging=»true» imageType=»full»] [divider_line]
Bloglist with full featured image below the title
[divider_line]
[blog count=»2″ nopaging=»true» imageType=»below»]
[/code]
The shortcode generator can be found above the content editor and is shown in two different ways.
[tabs]
[tab title=»Content Editor Visual Mode» icon=»check» icon_color=»#3cabce»]
In visual mode of the editor.
