In reference to the Blog schema, do I use Blog or BlogPosting in the @type field? I've seen examples of both.

The example below passes both Google's structured data test and the Structured Data Linter.

"@context": "http://schema.org/",
"@type": "Blog",
"headline": "<?=$title;?>",
"url": "<?=$page_url;?>",
"datePublished": "<?=$iso_date_published;?>",
"dateModified": "<?=$iso_date_edited;?>",
"author": "<?=$poster;?>",
"publisher": {
"@type": "WebSite",
"name": "News &amp; Opinion"
},
"description": "<?=$j_body;?>"


However if I change the @type to BlogPosting, then I get some errors about not including images etc.

What is the difference between Blog and BlogPosting? When would you use either of them?
