Your New Scoop Site

Welcome to Scoop!

To help you figure things out, there is a Scoop Admin Guide which can hopefully answer most of your questions.

Some tips:

Most of the layout is changed in "Blocks", found in the admin tools menu
Features can be turned on and off, and configured, in "Site Controls" in the admin tools menu
Stories have an "edit" link right beside the "Full Story" link on an index page, and right beside the "Post a Comment" link on the full story page. They can also be edited by clicking the story title in the "Story List" admin tool
Boxes are what allow you to write new features for Scoop; they require a knowledge of the perl programming language to work with effectively, although you can often make small changes without knowing much perl. If you would like a feature added but cannot program it yourself, ScoopHost does custom Scoop programming as one of its services.
If you aren't sure where to look for a particular feature or piece of display, try the "Search Admin Tools" link in the admin tools menu.

For support, questions, and general help with Scoop, email support@scoophost.com

By golly, by May 26th 2011, Michigan had a new budget. In fact it was done in only 140 plus days!

The prevaricator in chief's SOTU pandering last night marked 1000 days since Debbie Stabenow and Carl Levin helped the US Senate pass a budget. 1000 days since considerations for the limited resources that government is supposed to operate under have been made. Debbie Stabenow, and Carl Levin, fully 5% or one twentieth of the problem that is Democrats controlling the US senate, have made no attempts to demonstrate the leadership necessary for good government.

I'll give Michigan's two US senators some credit. They certainly cannot be blind to the fact that failure to pass a 'limiting' budget means escalating debt and loss of control with federal spending. They could not be THAT inane. However, even Carl Levin and Debbie Stabenow know the government under a bureaucracy growing president like Obama cannot operate within a budget. Its why they don't bother.

This severe lack of leadership foretells great misery for our future generations. For Michigan, and the Nation's future, they really need to go.
