After wrapping up the first quarter of 2016, it is exciting to look back at the team’s accomplishments over the past three months.

I am excited to share a few highlights by featuring our 7 most popular blog posts from this past quarter, so without further ado, please enjoy a SparkNotes version of Q1 2016:
