Wanted – examples of ways to get DOIs for blog posts & how they are used

For many years I have been wondering about the best way to get more formal credit for blog posts I have written.  It seems like the simplest way to do this would be to get a DOI for a blog post under some sort of publishing system and to use that DOI as the citable unit for the post.  I remember a while back Titus Brown wrote about this exact idea: Posting blog entries to figshare – Living in an Ivory Basement but I have not seen much else out there on ways to do this and what the implications are.  Anyone else out there know examples of how people have gotten DOIs for blog posts and if this has been useful?  Thanks
