I have this code in a xml layout file:

<reference name="left">     
      <block type="blog/blog" name="left.blog.menu"  before="-">            
    <action method="setTemplate" ifconfig="blog/menu/left">
       <template>aw_blog/menu.phtml</template> 
    </action>
        <block type="blog/tags" name="blog_tags" />
      </block>
</reference>

I want to add a cms static block to the blog pages using this code:

<block type="cms/block" name="brand_list">
    <action method="setBlockId"><block_id>brand_list</block_id></action>
</block>

If I add it in directly after this line:

<reference name="left"> 

It works but it is then displayed on every page. How can I get it to show only on the blog pages?

Thanks.

Edit: Here is the entire xml file:

<layout version="0.1.0">
    <default>
        <reference name="footer_links">
            <block type="blog/blog" name="add.blog.footer">
                <block type="blog/tags" name="blog_tags" />
                <action method="addFooterLink" ifconfig="blog/menu/footer"></action>
            </block>
        </reference>
        <reference name="right">
            <block type="blog/blog" name="right.blog.menu" before="-">
                <action method="setTemplate" ifconfig="blog/menu/right" ifvalue="1">
                    <template>aw_blog/menu.phtml</template> 
                </action>
                <block type="blog/tags" name="blog_tags" />
