I use 'nanoblogger' for my 'A taste of Linux' site, and it can be found at 
http://nanoblogger.sourceforge.net/. Once you've got it set up, its quite 
easy to use from a konsole as './nb -a' and it then opens up [in my case] a 
kedit window where I compose my blog. But, I upload it using gFTP, but that's 
my choice as nanoblogger can be used to upload it too.

For my 'efever' site I use 'PyQLogger' which can be found at 
http://pyqlogger.berlios.de/wiki/index.php/Main_Page, but this is for a 
http://www.blogger.com/ account [which are free anyway].

Hope these ideas/programs are useful to you both?

Merry Christmas
Sharon.
