It seems like "original work" also means "original writing". So you have to actually write something about the research in your own words, not just copy/paste from it into a blog post. That makes more sense. In the comments on the guidelines page, someone asked that same questions. It seems like “original work” also means “original writing”.

Looking at the typical output on there very few other people have too. Personally, while blogging about my own research would be easier (background reading already done) it could make it seem more important than it actually is to the reader. Hence it's probably safer to steer clear. Additionally blogging gives me an excuse to read up on stuff I've no idea about.
