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.

Poor Detoilet, from bankrupt and can't meet payroll yesterday, to we be razin' today.

via The Detroit News

Mayor Dave Bing this morning announced a plan to demolish 1,500 dangerous structures within the city in the next 90 days.
The Summer 2012 Demolition Plan is part of Bing's blight elimination and neighborhood stabilization initiative, his office announced in a statement this morning. The plan is to be carried out in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Justice Youth Violence Prevention Initiative and the Safe Routes to School campaign.
Rest here

Lemme see... why that sorta sounds like the Nerd's DRIC bridge. No Michigan tax dollars are used by Bing! Now, if Bing really gave a rip about adding to the crushing Federal Debt, he'd skip the DC trough (I know, I'm dreaming), and delay till fall 'cause with Bing also announcing he's axing one-fifth of his firefighters that would bypass the timing concern as the razing would be taken care of all for free on Devil's Night.

Doh! Wait a minute .. Bing's gaming the system with Federal Debt dollars to recall those firefighters too.
