Using a PAGE as a Blog Post

Is there a way to create a BLOG as a PAGE first, then create the page, and then make a BLOG item out of this page? I like the idea of creating a PAGE with all the Blocks and Layouts,  I want to use, but then making this PAGE a Blog Post.

Any ideas? Note: I am not looking how to create a BLOG POST with the limited formatting options, but have the BLOG POST use an actual PAGE as core content.

No, not really.

You could use a Portfolio page instead, which has pages within it that have all of the formatting options that blog pages do not. This has downsides that you don't get tags and categories, author or date, or and excerpt attached to them. This also cant be used with the Summary blocks.

You could use regular pages and link them from a List section on your homepage, but that also has the same limitations as my previous portfolio suggestion.

It's not worth the trouble if you plan to have a lot of posts. Believe me. Just use the blog page and if you want to really customize the design use summary blocks on a page. You have lot more control over layout colors fonts, and all kinds of things with summary blocks.
