Dusting off the blog



From Wisconsin Historical Images

As part of ever-necessary continuing education, we're tackling this blog with a bit more ernest.  That means re-learning some things and starting fresh.  But hey, we're all about education and self improvement. 

So, I'll be doing some blog housekeeping and getting everything spick and span and shiny. 

"Spick and span" refers to an old sailing term, where a spick and span ship had all new nails or a spike/spick and all new wooden chips or spans.  Altogether, it means something is all brand new.
