Similar to Microsoft’s I’m a PC Campaign, 24 Hour Fitness has a website for the sharing of fitness and health stories:

LDS Living has an article on Professor Richard Holzapfel’s inclusion of blogging in the religion curriculum at BYU:
For his religion class this semester, Richard Holzapfel changed his usual scripture log assignment to an online blogging assignment where students write their thoughts and feelings on gospel subjects.

Holzapfel said he and students have already seen positive results, engaging in...
Online gospel sharing will be easier if we can integrate it into our existing routines.
A recent BYU Daily Universe article explains that Dr. Richard Holzapfel is encouraging gospel blogging by making it part of the curriculum. In BYU religion classes, it’s common to be asked to keep a private study journal throughout the semester. By moving the assignment online, the study journal
