    I am not sure if I am doing something wrong but the Search, Categories, Recent Posts and Archives widgets are not showing up on my blog listing sidebar.

    They show up on the blog details sidebar though.

    That is a page, not a post and not a list of posts.
    So add your widgets to “GD Page Details”

    Wow! Thank you, Guust. I am not sure what I did when I installed GD. I thought I was adding the sidebar widgets on GD Blog Listing.

    How can I set it up correctly to make the GD Blog Listing work instead of using a page named Blog?

    Sorry to confuse you. It is a “page” that has a list of posts.
    Just add another post and you’ll see it gets added to the same page.

    So it is all set up correctly, you just have to add the widgets to “GD Page Details”

    Thank you. What is the purpose of GD Blog Listing then? What widgets will it accommodate?

    Blog Listing is where a list of posts is displayed after filtering, for example all posts of July 2014, or all posts in the general category.

    It can use any GD widgets that are NOT dependent on a filter by location, CTP or category.
    For example you can use all latest posts widgets, but you cannot use the Listings map widget because that is dependent on a GD database filter.

    Bit more here [work in progress]:
