Where are you getting journal-mode from? That's not mentioned at all in the
muse manual. AFAIK, journal-mode is a different emacs mode entirely.

Just type your journal entry using muse markup, then publish it using the
'journal-html' or 'journal-xhtml' style. There is no need for the buffer to be
in anything but journal-mode. 

The idea of muse is that you use one mode for doing all of your writing, and
then you can publish it in a variety of styles. Maybe the problem is that you
don't know how to choose which publishing style you want to use?
