A Note On Our Style Guide: We don’t have one. Our main goal is for correct spelling and clear descriptions. If you can understand what we are saying, we’re happy.

A Note on Advertising: Basically, we want to cover web hosting costs and site promotion (oh yes, we’re promoting it). If we earn a little extra money, we’ll most likely reinvest it in the website. For example, a camera for interviews or maybe a little professional design help.

We tried to make the ads as least annoying as possible. But as I’m sure you’re aware, running a website costs money. Considering the time we’re putting into the website, it would be nice if we didn’t have to put much money in too. Anyways, I hope you understand.

Special Thanks To:

WordPress for having such nice blogging and web designing software.

As a side note, the fact that the tech blog TechCrunch uses WordPress was a big factor in deciding to use this software over other options. If it’s good enough for TechCrunch, it’s good enough for a little Wisconsin news website.

XAMPP Lite: Initial site design and build was done on XAMPP Lite.

Simplepie for having good documentation.

Gov’t RSS Feeds Any government website that has a decent RSS feed. We strongly believe that government needs to be accountable to the people. If we are to hold government accountable, we need to make it easy for people to know what the government is doing. We applaud any government effort to make it easier for voters to follow government actions.

You: Thanks for reading! We appreciate it and we hope we provided you with interesting content.
