CMS Report's Top Ten Content Management Stories of 2013

A constant worry of mine as CMS Report's editor is that we won't have enough articles to publish and give you reason to visit this little site of ours.

The honest truth, I just didn't want to rehash the press release on the day the announcement was made without offering some additional perspective of my own.
