That sounds frustrating, MUE. It sounds like this T is busy and isn't really into the job of having to write and post the notes. Maybe he doesn't even like the idea of a blog for your group. How about if you and the other group members took responsibility for this, and took turns writing the notes right after session? That way, each person would have to do it only once every couple of months so no one would be burdened over much. Plus, it might be a good exercise for the group members to try to post fairly neutrally about a group session in which they had been a participant.

Another idea is for you and the other members to not wait for the notes and just start discussing the session on the blog anyway. Screw the placeholder post! If you don't wait for it, then you won't be dependent on this T, and your annoyance will probably go away.

MUE, your post was strangely reminiscent of something you wrote earlier. In this instance, the other T is not posting the blog notes, despite your polite request and explanation which did get results before. It reminds me of how at your group session you asked your T to move his chair away from the door so he wouldn't be blocking the exit, and he did so, but the following week he was back to blocking the exit again. I don't know what this means--do you think it is a pattern of how these Ts interact with you? That's probably kind of farfetched based on just these two examples, but it did pop into my mind.
