I'm in the process of writing this article - come back later!

Overview

For an in-depth overview of this technique, see the Gamasutra article Real-Time Glow by By Greg James and John O’Rorke.

Temporary code dump

Until I finish writing this article, here's the undocumented code ;)

Pipeline changes

Setup the RenderTargets. If this is for HDR, then these RenderTargets will already exist, so just change depthBuf to "true" on the first one 
<stage id="Glow">
	<RenderTarget id="BLURBUF1" depthBuf="true"  numColBufs="1" format="RGBA8" bilinear="true" scale="0.25" />
	<RenderTarget id="BLURBUF2" depthBuf="false" numColBufs="1" format="RGBA8" bilinear="true" scale="0.25" />
</stage>


insert this new stage after the "Geometry" stage. 
<stage id="Glow">
	<SwitchTarget target="BLURBUF1" />			
	<ClearTarget depthBuf="true" colBuf0="true" />
	<DrawGeometry context="GLOWMASK" />
	
	<!-- Repeat these steps as many times as you like, it makes the bloom softer -->
	<SwitchTarget target="BLURBUF2" />
	<BindBuffer texUnit="0" target="BLURBUF1" bufIndex="0" />
	<DrawQuad   material="postGlow.material.xml" context="BLURV" />
	<SwitchTarget target="BLURBUF1" />
	<BindBuffer texUnit="0" target="BLURBUF2" bufIndex="0" />
	<DrawQuad   material="postGlow.material.xml" context="BLURH" />
	
	<SwitchTarget target="BLURBUF2" />
	<BindBuffer texUnit="0" target="BLURBUF1" bufIndex="0" />
	<DrawQuad   material="postGlow.material.xml" context="BLURV" />
	<SwitchTarget target="BLURBUF1" />
	<BindBuffer texUnit="0" target="BLURBUF2" bufIndex="0" />
	<DrawQuad   material="postGlow.material.xml" context="BLURH" />
	
	<SwitchTarget target="BLURBUF2" />
	<BindBuffer texUnit="0" target="BLURBUF1" bufIndex="0" />
	<DrawQuad   material="postGlow.material.xml" context="BLURV" />
	<SwitchTarget target="BLURBUF1" />
	<BindBuffer texUnit="0" target="BLURBUF2" bufIndex="0" />
	<DrawQuad   material="postGlow.material.xml" context="BLURH" />
	
	<!-- In the HDR version, target should be set to "HDRBUF" -->
	<SwitchTarget target="" />
	<BindBuffer texUnit="0" target="BLURBUF1" bufIndex="0" />
	<DrawQuad material="postGlow.material.xml" context="FINALPASS" />
</stage>
