Blogging software on Ubuntu Linux

Next moth I am going to hibernate. Those days I will not be available on internet. It may stay atleast 20-30 days. I want to write blogpost at my offtime. How do I do that? There is easy and common way to do that. Writing thoughts or analysis in a text file or open office and save it. One month late when I come back then do only copy and paste. Yes it is a easiest method to do such kind of job. But I am looking for a different tool. I am looking for a blogging software or a blogging client or a blogging tool in Ubuntu Linux. There are many same kind of offline/desktop blogging tool available for windows. But what about linux.



I searched google at first. But there are no much information about my findings. Then I return to Ubuntu and digging in "Ubuntu Software Center". I found various kind of blogging software / application there. I am telling about them now one by one.
