This contest was invented by @rocking-dave and I was nominated to participate by @canadianrenegade. The contest hosted by Dave is already over, but that doesn't mean we can't keep the challenge going, right?

I really like this challenge because it allows me to revive a few posts from 2017 that didn't get too much love but I still think they are great.

Here are the *new rules for the challenge:

1. Make a #my2017top5 post with your 5 best posts of 2017.
2. Make a comment on my post with a link to your post.
