BPC entered 2011 determined to use blogging as a tool to highlight staff work, promote the organization, and insert our unique viewpoint into the national debate. With original content now going up on a regular basis, we have boosted our online presence by rewarding returning visitors with fresh commentary on the issues of the day. The combination of a dedicated stable of contributors and a more prominent spot on the redesigned website have placed the Bipartisan Beat Blog among the most popular destinations on BPC’s site. To help commemorate the year that was, we have compiled the top ten most read BPC blog posts of 2011.
