YEAR END COUNTDOWN // The Top 15 Favorite Blog Posts of 2011 -- According to You

With the curtain rapidly dropping on 2011, we've decided to get in the partly arbitrary, fully enjoyable tradition of year-end countdowns.

And how better to do that than get all meta on you and count down our readers' Top 15 Favorite Blog Posts of 2011. How do we quantify 'favorite'? Well, people, it's the 21st century and we can tell how many times a post was shared, liked, tweeted and just generally internet-high-fived. Survey says? You all have great taste.

Today, we're kicking off with #15 through #11, tomorrow #10 through #6 and Friday, the top 5 articles on 3rdWard.com according to you.
