Do you want to be hosting the journal i.e. running the webserver and
blog software yourself? If so you could look at the wordpress blog
software (wordpress.org).

If on the other hand you're looking for easy ways to write entries in
a console and publish them on a blog hosted elsewhere, you could look
at something like http://blogtk.sourceforge.net/

Although, if you wanted specifically a console application, one that I
use a lot is the muse package for emacs (available from Fedora Extras
- yum install emacs-muse).
