What makes for a great blog post on the Knowledge Network? These five authors seem to know, as they've written our most popular blog posts so far.

1. Performance Evaluation of Managers:  This blog post compiles a list of different ways ICMA members and KN users conduct performance evaluations for city and county managers. The post also lists additional resources for evaluating city managers.
2. Final Thoughts from Phoenix:  Phoenix was a great conference, and Jennifer Pfiffner's post brought closure to the fantastic event.
3. I am a Jim Collins Fanboy:  We have another post originating from the 2012 ICMA conference, this time from a member who really likes Jim Collins.  
4. Public Engagement Has a New Face, Literally:  The final post from the 2012 Conference. This one centers around the impact of technology on local government.
5. Some Ethical Lines in the Road Are Clear:  Ethics isn't always a difficult decision. ICMA's director of ethics writes about a clear-cut case that led to the censuring of a city manager.
