Aha, found the trick!

Solved the problem with journal-create-entry overwriting my previous entry. All is fine so long as you publish the previous entry first with emacs-wiki-publish (C-c C-p). I really should report this to the mailing list since it causes data-loss if you don't get it right.

Which blogging package to use?

I'm still not sure if I will end up using this (journal.el) or emacs-wiki-blog.el

Comparison

emacs-wiki-blog.el

Good

Does RSS feeds - looks cool in the examples by the author -

Bad

Haven't tried it yet.

journal.el

Good

It works - good integration with emacs-wiki - you can have multiple entries per day - they get named automatically - each entry can be in multiple categories - ...

Bad

Has fatal bug - does not do RSS feeds yet - the generated web pages are a bit confusing - the same entries crop up in many places - ...

The bug: This seems to be due to the fact that journal-entries-alist is empty. This should contain a reference to all the current entry pages (e.g., "1" in my case)
