It’s the last week of January (sorry, we mean December; we got way ahead of ourselves), and we, too, have the listicle bug. It’s that virus that infects all blogs and websites and forces them to post their top 10 stories of the year. So, instead of fighting it, we’re giving in and posting the blog posts that mattered to you. And by mattered, we mean the ones that received the most page views from Jan. 1 to Dec. 29, 2014.
