A look at the Australian blogosphere by blogs.com.au

Are any Australian soldiers blogging?

Just saw this article on Wired which indicates that:

A leading general and former top military spokesman in Iraq is pleading with the armed services to let troops blog and post to YouTube.

And then goes on to say that:

…in a struggle where perception is often as important as bombs-and-bullets conflict, soldiers ought to be encouraged and equipped to wage that information war on their own. And that means “get[ting] onto blogs and [s]end[ing] their YouTube videos to their friends and family.”

This got me thinking and curious if anyone knows if Australian soldiers on active duty overseas are allowed to blog and if so, are any currently blogging?
