Hi,

I have different blog templates for English and Arabic. I want to create a template which shows a list of blogs from both of English and Arabic blog pages sorted by date.

I tried to make changes in the post listing in the template, as shown on this page:

> **[Blog templates - HubSpot docs](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/cms/start-building/building-blocks/templates/blog)**
>
> Blog listing and blog post templates can be used to customize the appearance of a site's blog.

Below is my page link:

[https://www.sabaconsultants.com/all-blogs](https://www.sabaconsultants.com/all-blogs)

The page was created but the blog list doesn’t show up.

I want to merge the blog list of the 2 pages below:

> **[Our Blogs - Saba Consultants](https://sabaconsultants.com/blog/)**

[https://www.sabaconsultants.com/blog-ar](https://www.sabaconsultants.com/blog-ar)

Thanks in advance for your help!

Is it possible you post the code you are using to combine the two lists?
