Your blog() method would do what ever you want it to do. In this case it looks
like you want it to return some sort of object. So it needs to create this
object. You can store these objects (or anything else your plugin needs)
throughout the request in the $self object's hash.

The "Writing Plugins" section of the pod mentions how to best do this -
