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.

ScoopHost.com is currently running Scoop version scoop-1_1-dev from 2006/08/26 20:02:04 .

Announcing the Candidacy of Paul "Revere" Peterson for State Representative in the 79th District, the north end of Berrien County and along the coast down to Bridgman (see 79th District Map here.)

Being a district with an open seat due to the term limit of the honorable Rep. John Proos, one of the Fighting 43, it will be determined in a Primary Election on August 3rd, 2010. Be there! If you want a REAL Conservative, you've got to vote in the Republican Primary.

Jay Riemersma announced this morning he's giving away a signed copy of Sarah Palin's book, Going Rogue, to the 85th online donor of $10 and up.

Then the story got picked up by Politico and the GR Press. Smart play all around.

I'd encourage right Michigan readers to support this strong conservative candidate for Congress, and get a chance at an autographed copy of Going Rogue. Just be sure to let me know if you're number 84...I've still got a few names on my Christmas list that would love this book. You can donate here.

From the Riemersma campaign via email this morning:

Free Press: Snyder friendly to "moderates"

The Detroit Free Press had a very interesting bio piece on Rick Snyder this morning. I'm surprised I'm the first commenting on it (my guess is the Snyder's camp will not be sending this story around).

Below is a passage every conservative needs to read, it's from the bottom of the story so I cut/pasted it below:

"He [Rick Snyder] supports using human embryos to create stem cells for medical research. He favors government recognition of rights for gay and lesbian couples much like those accorded married couples. He opposed the ban on race and gender preferences approved by Michigan voters in 2006."

After reading that, begs to question.... what party is Rick Snyder a part of, because those are NOT the ideals of the Republican Party.

I caught this article from Phil Power on the Livingston Daily. Phil reported on the gloom permeating the Mackinac Policy Conference and hope what he's reporting is not true
