I think what James meant by 'somewhere else' is 'an actual blog, not 
this list where we can syndicate to planet.ubuntu.org.au'. If you were 
unaware, planet.ubuntu.org.au is where several blogs get aggregated - 
it's not any single person's personal blog.

No, my blog was not the topic of this thread. The topic of this thread 
was 'Does anyone have a blog they'd like to add to planet.ubuntu.org.au'.
