Just follow the usual process to add a blog, journal, or wiki to your course content and set up the tool.
When setting up the tool, you will now have the option to "Create a Grade Book Entry":

This creates a grade item in your Gradebook. Name the new grade item in the "Entry Name" field, enter the maximum number of points for it in the "Points Possible" field, choose whether or not to display grades to students, and click Add.

This will add a Grade Item to your Gradebook:

Once students have completed the work in the tool, you can assess their efforts using the Assessment option right within the tool Settings.
