Looking Back: 2013 in Review

As 2013 comes to a close, we again continue our tradition of taking a retrospective look at the year's Picks of the Week. There have been some great additions to the File Exchange this year; hopefully that is reflected in our selections.

You can read the original blog posts for each of these picks by clicking on the names of the files and following the links to the "Pick of the Week" tag. As always, your comments are welcome.
