You could set most of that up in Composer.
The page list block will pull the short description I think.
You can create an attribute for a Thumbnail and add it to the page attribute for a Composer page (your blog).

Have a look at this and see how you get on:

Thanks for the reply.

I have now added an image /file attribute to the composer. Also added one image for the post.

Now how can i show the image in my post with a short description of the content?

Thanks

You could create a custom template for the page list block and add the thumbnail attribute to that. It will pull the same image you add via Composers thumbnail attribute.
You would then be able to add text to your page description and set the page list block to truncate after x amount of characters and that will show the text and thumbnail in the page list.
