George Blackburn felt that he didn’t receive a “Whole Lotta Love” from his wife in 2011 so they divorced. After their marriage dissolved, Blackburn seemed “Dazed and Confused” so he decided he needed a fresh start. He changed his name, officially, to Led Zeppelin II. A fan of the band for decades having seen them perform more than 20 times in concert, Blackburn felt...

Sourcing: Why It's Important & Why We Should Take...
This is one of the reasons I won’t tag posts in #history. No source, no tag. It’s not hard, just take a second and type where you found it. If it’s yours, type “personal collection.” Done and done. crownedrose: Hello, everyone! So not too long ago, a post came up on my dashboard about why science editors should be a bit more careful when it comes to what they...

whoweretheqajars asked: Hi! I just wanted to stop by and say how much I like Tumblr's #history tag, and ask a question.
