Can we save a blog post under a different name and use it as a template for future posts? I was thinking a "save as" button rather than a save button.

Yes, if you're talking about here on ActiveRain - just go into your draft posts, copy and paste it into a new post. Of course, you'll have to change the name of the post and I would do that with dates or neighborhood names, etc.

Yes. You can save it as XXXXX Template. Then just copy and paste the html code into a new post and save it and post it as the title you want with the content you want.

You can save material in the draft mode.

You can also copy and paste information if you wish to use some material from a past blog to be updated in a new blog.

I don't think so. If I want to save something as a template I put it into drafts and copy the code from there and then update as needed.
