< Previous Page

We post a lot of news on our blogs, as evidenced by the preponderance of political and religious items on our list this year. But we also have fun with reality television and baffling BYU wardrobe chastisements. Here, our top 11 blog entries from Salt Lake Tribune bloggers in 2012:

1. BYU student scolded for her attire in Valentine’s note

When Brittany Molina was handed a note on BYU’s Provo campus last Valentine’s Day, she was bemused to discover it was an admonishment of her choice of clothing.

A small change in a form LDS church members use to pay tithing and other donations got a lot of attention because of this blog item.
