<#assign messages = rest("/blogs/id/[your_blog_id_here]/topics/style/blog/recent?page_size=3").messages />
also for anyone else reading this, the final steps in order to have this Content to show up with the proper styling of its title were:
go into Admin > Content > Custom Content
create a new Custom CONTENT with the title you want shown on the page, and that calls this Custom COMPONENT with the following tag
<@component id="[custom_component_id_here]"/>
go back to Studio > Page and put the Custom CONTENT into the appropriate page
go back to Admin at the Community or Board level, Display > Page Layouts and reassign as needed
once pushed to production you will need to repeat the admin steps on your live site
