In the Layouts editor #

1. The Full / Article mapping (priority 130) has the class condition ng_article, ng_blog_post, ng_news: posts get the article layout without a new mapping.
2. The blog's list page is a landing page with a dynamic List of the posts.

With templates #

1. A blog-specific full view would be an override.ini block for ng_blog_post in your extension.

Which to choose #

Reuse the article layout; give the list page its own layout.
