How to use perch:blog as per perch:content

I have been able to edit .html blog templates however how would I go about "recycling" content to use in a regular page?

I have a /blog/ folder of which I have copied .php templates into and the .html templates in /perch/templates/content/blog/ are working so I guess what I am after is some kind of variable but not in the sense of dataselect

Thanks for any help

You can use:

<?php perch_blog_post_field(perch_get('s'), 'postTitle'); ?>
