How do I create a standardized Blog Post template?

I’m on Umbraco 10.3,2 and using a uSkinned design theme (Skye). First time user so still learning the ins and outs

As part of my install I got default document types created for Blog as:

  • Blog Author
  • Blog Authors Folder
  • Blog Categories Folder
  • Blog Posts Folder

and under Web Pages I got:

  • Blog Category Page
  • Blog Landing Page
  • Blog Post
  • Blog RSS

I’m fine with how the main blog listing page looks, I can specify the layout of those and it looks good.

the issue I have is with the individual blog post pages, when you create one you need to go in and add the main content from scratch every time. So say I want all my blog posts to look the same, 2 pods, one on left with image, one on right with text. Is there some way to predefine that template so that when the user creates a new Blog Post they have those two fields to fill in (image + text).

thanks for any help you can provide, articles tutorials etc. I’m just overwhelmed with all the features so I’m not even sure what I should be looking for!
