I have a block that will show up in the specified region on the pages which it's specified to show.

However, can I use that same block in the body of a page? Is there a function call or a way that I can hook into the block api to display a block by name?

This module makes it easy for non-programmers to insert a block into page content.

I am a programmer, so I would like to know how to do this both ways.

I will look at this module, since my client/eventual site administrator is not a programmer

Seeing that you're comfortable with code ...

$block = module_invoke($module, 'block', 'view', $delta);
print $block['content'];

You can find out the module/delta by looking at the admin/build/block page. Hover over one of the "configure" links to find out the exact module and delta for the block you want to insert.
