The module has three customizable sections: Manage, Settings and Skin/Template.

Manage offers a view of the currently shown posts. By default the Posts List module shows all post content you have, sorted by date and time in ascending order. You can rearrange posts via Drag and Drop using the small slider that is located on the left of the posts.

The Settings section is the core to selectivity of showing your content. The dropdown menu lets you choose which existing posts from which existing pages you wish to show. You can either choose to showcase posts from separate pages or to exhibit all posts on your website.

An example: In our tutorial case we can choose either to show the posts on the topic of Ancient Greece, the posts on the topic of Lamps, or both.

There are additional customizable fields like Thumbnail, Title, Description, a Read More Link, Date and a Hide Paging option. You can also input how many posts per page you’d like to show visitors. These fields are editable – for example you can rename your Read More Link into "Learn more about" or whatever your preferences are. You can also define the arrangement of your content – Ascending or Descending, and according to the Title, Date or Position.

The Skin/Template section offers additional customizability in terms of cosmetic looks. There are a number of different skins and templates suitable for different preferences and purposes, so be sure to check them all out!
