Tongue in cheek as that may seem, as somebody who works with a content management system or CMS almost every day, I have sincerely come to think of it this way. This article will help you to understand what it means journalistically as well as semantically, whilst explaining why the simple, and playfully tautological definition of it above is the most useful one. » Read the rest of the entry..
